  Thank you so much for sharing Sam’s story. And Happy Birthday to Sam too. As parents, when we go through something like this with our children, it helps us to be able to comfort another parent who is suffering. And I know you have done just that Cindy.

  New headline on S-R.com:

  I found myself wondering, as I often do, about the determination with which people believe pundits who please them ideologically, no matter how wrong they have repeatedly been — wrong in ways that, if you believed them, cost you money.

  Suppose you had spent the last five years actually believing what you read from the usual suspects — the WSJ opinion pages, National Review, right-wing economists, etc.. Here’s what would have happened:

  In 2006 you would have believed that there was no housing bubble.

  In 2007 you would have believed that the troubles of subprime couldn’t possibly spread to the financial system as a whole.

  In 2008 you would have believed that we weren’t in a recession — and that the failure of Lehman was unlikely to have bad consequences for the real economy.

  In 2009 you would have believed that high inflation was just around the corner.

  At the beginning of 2010 you would have believed that sky-high interest rates were just around the corner.

  Now, we all make mistakes and get things wrong, but after this string of errors, wouldn’t you at least begin to suspect that the people you find congenial have a fundamentally wrong-headed view of how the world works?

  What.. nothing about Colbert “testifying” today? Wow.. would have thought that might get HMOff-is-rocker-suite into a mouth frothing lather of Obamanation-libero-hate-speak! Oh well.. it would have been fun to watch that little bumper sticker writer wing his marbles around the page, but alas, I feel a bowel movement coming on, and that’s actually more fun than reading anything by him.

  See? That kind of thing is always more enjoyable than any of HMO’s comment blather…at least it is for me. ;-)

  toad >>> “See? That kind of thing is always more enjoyable than any of HMO’s comment blather…”

  Well, that’s the second shot you have taken at me today. Nice work. My wisdom is really a problem with you, appearantly. Understandable.

  We all take our shots in life, I guess it’s all in how we handle them.

  Cindy, thanks for a fun couple of days! You (and everyone else!) had me laughing inside and out loud most of both.

  Happy Friday. :)
