Now that viciousness on the Sarah Palin front has died down, the prospect of American debt looms in the American debate. For Republicans, the timing is very bad as the Bush Administration shapes up to be the most expensive government endeavor in our history. With this year’s desperate “Pass Here, Pass Now” attempts to stimulate sales and bailout the financial sector, and the ongoing Terror War in Iraq, the Democrats are more than ever looking like fiscal conservatives to the GOP’s tax and spend nightmare.

The man, depression-era writer Westbrook Pegler, also once expressed hope that “some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter [Robert F. Kennedy's] spoonful of brains in public premises.” For some reason, RFK’s son finds that kind of disturbing.

So you’ve been waiting patiently to see what kind of beautiful wackiness Man Man will get into this time, and they start off by insulting your hygiene: “you need a haircut / you need a shoeshine.” Sheesh, look who’s talking.
