Kool-AidMan

 

In an interesting clip from YouTube, via Hot Air, freshman senator Michael Bennet tells his constituents where they can shove it with one easy word. 

“Yes.”

So, Jeopardy-style, what’s the question for this answer?

REAL long-term stimulus

From Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air:

Why has this recession generated such bad job opening rates?  Isidore quotes Robert Brusca of FAO Economics as saying that “fear is running the show right now,” and small wonder.  Instead of trying to calm the nation, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi have transformed themselves into Chicken [...]
