FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH


Something's happening here. And it's clear the American Inclination is, when the going gets tough, to revert to the comfort of xenophobia. This includes the President, the Ultimate Other. Glen Beck yearns for the Beaver's Fifties. Ike's America. Davy Crockett, Indian Fighter. It makes him cry that Fess Parker is Dead.

The upcoming election: blame the Democrats for deficits that were caused by bad Republican policy. Lie, lie lie. The bigger the lie, the more it will be believed.

How did FDR ever get reelected?
