Hey. New board.

Yeah. Where that speech goes wrong is that by using the word "Hope" he's making it clear that it might work and he's just too stuck in his own ways to acknowledge that would be good.

My understanding of the Conservative line would say "I don't believe this will work. In fact, I think it will make it worse." Not "I don't want this to work." Personally, if the world went crazy and elected Ron Paul, I would hope that he was right, that my 18-year-old self who loved Ayn Rand had a better sense of politics and economics than my 25-year-old self who gets a little queasy at remembering those days. I wouldn't have much faith, but I would still hope to be wrong.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What is even happening?

On a far more pleasant topic, how adorable is Jill Biden in her sexy inaugural boots? Love her!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Okay, so he's been living in a bizarro-AU version of the reality we've experienced for the past 8 years.

I think he's been there for a lot longer than 8 years.

They spent so long shouting that liberals wanted more terrorist attacks and dead troops in Iraq just to prove a point that now they think that's how normal people see the world.

My understanding of the Conservative line would say "I don't believe this will work. In fact, I think it will make it worse." Not "I don't want this to work."

I don't think it is either of those things. I think that it is often not a question of what will "work" but what is "right".
