(Knee) Jerks


Here is an excellent distillation of the Republican response to Obama's good economic news:

You are making inadequate progress getting us out of the hole we dug for you despite our opposition to every program you propose.


Then there's this, which translates to "thank god and Republicans that the sunrise is over, so things can start to warm up."
It is no coincidence that the private sector is taking off while the government stimulus is winding down. ... which suggests that the pressure valve has been opened, and the years of pent-up activity that were suppressed by uncertainty over Obama’s policies is finally being released. Thank God for gridlock.

    The answer is clear: Catholic hospitals that receive public moneys must conform to good medical practices.

And you never heard about it because it was simply the right thing to do.
