From the print and online editions of the nation's premier urban-policy magazine http://www.city-journal.org/cj-comments.xml?story=8072 Manhattan Institute Nicholas' Law: In the United States, the level of the populace's compassion is measured by the amount of money wasted failing to solve the problem. http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8072#15628 http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8072#15628 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 06:59:23 EDT Almost reminds me of a Hitler joke. The man has somehow survived the war, and a bunch of Germans in Argentina ask him to come out of his discreet retirement and lead the formation of a 4th Reich. Hitler reluctantly agrees, but stipulates "but this time, no more Mr. Nice Guy". http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8072#15620 http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8072#15620 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 20:06:43 EDT President and Mrs. Obama's fondness for taking vacations on the taxpayers' money to Martha's Vineyard, Spain, Hawaii, Las Vegas and Aspen; their junketing to try to get the Olympic Games for Chicago and to collect Obama's Nobel Prize; their flying a fleet of SUV's around the country while admonishing the electorate to safe fuel; these have provoked cartoonists to portray them as Louis XVIII and Marie Antoinette, as in "Let them eat cake." It would be more accurate to portray Obama as Louis XIV, as in "Apres moi, le deluge." http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8072#15610 http://www.city-journal.org/comments/index.php?story=8072#15610 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:35:42 EDT
