Couldn’t Help But Notice (010808)
Hillary Clinton’s angry, barely below boiling-point, incredibly defensive, grouchy, *itchy response to John Edwards on Saturday may be seen in future years as 2008’s equivalent of “The Dean Scream.” As of Sunday, when this part of the post was written, it had already been viewed over 525,000 times.
Edwards can hardly be blamed for stirring the pot further. The more provoked she is, the worse she is. Three Sunday polls had her down to BOOHOO (Barack O-bomba Overseas Hussein “Obambi” Obama) by double digits.
PM Update: There are so many, other, Clintonian, moments, to report, that it’s, impossible to, keep up (may require subscription), with, them.

I don’t have time for a definitive debunk of this, but it’s obviously dumb:
LIVING standards in Britain are set to rise above those in America for the first time since the 19th century, according to a report by the respected Oxford Economics consultancy.
The calculations suggest that, measured by gross domestic product per capita, Britain can now hold its head up high in the economic stakes after more than a century of playing second fiddle to the Americans.
Currency fluctuations don’t automatically make the living standards playing field even. Not even close.
I’ll let someone else do the dirty work, and link to it.
PM Update: Here’s one, from Donal Blaney in Kent, UK — “Better than America? Don’t make me laugh!”

The health insurance proposals of BOOHOO (Barack O-bomba Overseas Hussein “Obambi” Obama) are not coercive enough for the lefty blogs (go to the last two paragraphs at the linked page).

From IBDeditorials.com — “To Avoid Slump, Taxes Must Be Cut” Even if there isn’t really a slump going on, there should be another tax cut, because federal revenues are about at their trendline as a percentage of the economy’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
