  3. Decades of his boots on the ground would tend to say otherwise. In the words of that Oregon securities regulator in reply to Merrill Lynch's contention that its Ready Asset Account was not a checking account: "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."

  4. And I am Marie of Romania, to quote another blogger.

    There used to be a convention in editorial cartoons whereby someone would proclaim their magnificence by sticking their right hand into their buttoned jacket and declare that they were Napoleon (I believe this derived from the number of psychiatric patients who believed they were, in the early 20th century). The way Obama sticks his nose in the air when he's talking to the millions of plebs on TV leads me to believe he need only to stick his hand into his suit jacket to complete his own illusion.

  8. Ok, I waited for the other kinda obvious comment, but no one picked it up, having moved on to more recent posts...but the other thing that smacked me for this was "I am the walrus."

    No, I don't know why...except maybe sometimes I feel like BarryO's living at the Mad Hatter's tea party while the rest of the nation is organizing the New Boston Tea Party.
