Sign O’ the Times

A pair of telling headlines from Drudge. The first one:

SOLD: Sen. Ben Nelson to vote for health care bill; Secured favors for his home state…

There’s your modern American democracy in action, as senators buy one another’s votes with other people’s money. However, a problem is revealed in the second header:

CHINA: ‘The world does not have Money to buy more US Treasuries’…

Yep. Not only did we spend all our money, we spent everybody else’s, too. Good luck with those “advantages” you bought for your fellow Nebraskans, Senator Nelson. They’re going to need them.

    You know what I’d like? Campfire lectures above Seven Falls by Richard J. Maybury and John Derbyshire.

    That’s what.

    With hot chocolate and dessert game hunting instruction by James Wesley Rawles.

    Is that too much to ask for?
