Paul Krugman is off today.
“Barack knows that at some level there’s a hole in our souls.” So if he fills our souls with hope, will he fill our holes with soap? [Sorry everyone. This is a variation on a joke Pepe and I enjoyed back in New Orleans days. Remember Pepe?]

Kristol nails it. He sets things up like in volleyball, and then slams the ball over the net in the last paragraph.
By the way, anyone has read yet this masterful Princeton senior thesis by Michelle Obama? Looks like total bs to me -- some baloney about dependent and independent variables (what the heck is she talking about?), mixed with the usual pinko drivel. Boy, Princeton must be slippin'.
Also, for all that bitchin' about how horrible things are, she's making over 300K a year -- doing what? Here:
Mrs. Obama’s salary has gone from approximately $50,000 in 1999 to over $300,000 after her husband was elected senator. What does she do for that money? Well, according to the Chicago Tribune, Mrs. Obama is in charge of “women and minority vendor purchases, rejuvenation of [the hospital’s] volunteer program” and a “collaborative effort” with South Side clinics to provide care for low income residents.
No wonder health care costs are going through the roof -- someone gotta pay for the limo-liberals to buy their limos. But don't worry, Barry H. is gonna fix things, really well.
More precisely: in 2006, she made $273,618 in salary, and $51,200 for her "board activities" (their combined income was $991,296). The Pepes of this world get richer, and the peons at FCP get poorer. Let's start a revolution!
Yes, I saw that shit. I want to be marginalized like that. What I would like to know is if she's that damn good. A kid can write a lot of shit and particularly if egged on to do so by morons in charge at the Univ. So you get into some hot law school and get out. Everyone loves you... Is she any good though or is she just a politician that gets the hot job because she fits the, uh, demographic.
Who's Barry H? Marion Barry?
Sure, that one and the cunning runts.
Barry H. = Barack H. Obama. JJ, you're slippin'!
But, getting back to your question, JJ: what do you mean by "Is she any good though or is she just a politician that gets the hot job"? If you read the job description, you'll see it's total, unadulterated bs: jobs like this don't produce anything, don't cure anything, don't add any value whatsoever. It's just a political sinecure. How can one be "good" or bad at it? It's irrelevant.
I dunno, AI. Maybe you have to be a good lawyer to know to say,"For once in my life..." Or maybe you have to be a good lawyer to know not to say,"For once in my life..." This wold be a tough questioon for a dumbass like me with no Princeton and no Harvard. Another question is whether it is true that she was making only $50k 15 years out of Harvard Law. If so, she was the dumbest bunny of her class until being married to grumpy-stinky-snorey got his Senatorial Saudi prince's retinue and she became a genius.
The cunningest linguist ever, it seems, Pepe...
Thanks, JJ -- I finally understood Pepe's deep pun. What would I do without you to help me out?
Clit on things...
