Who was Truman before he was Truman? (3.00 / 1)

A nobody, that's who. Its not about personalities folks. People are voting their identity. They want to believe themselves to be solid pillars of the establishment out in Hickville, Idaho, but they're not.

Maybe what they need is a little return to the days of Hoover. Then those uppity fanatics will realize that they are at the bottom of America's social ladder, and vote accordingly.

More likely, in the event of a true economic crisis they will turn to socialism of a different stripe, national socialism. Perhaps I should go into business making brown shirts?

Maybe (none / 0)

That might be one way to prosper under the Bush economy.

You could go into to business... (none / 0)

Making those brown shirts. Unfortunately, some military-industrial-complex company already got the contract in Kentucky.

But the work is then outsourced to Costa Rica (none / 0)

to a subsidiary incorporated in Bermuda and the profits are put into a bank account in the Cayman Islands.
