It was bad enough I had to sit on the train home next to someone absorbed in his WJS lie about the government extending the Great Depression. It is bad enough that I see propaganda daily splashed on the NY Post and my brother is going off about steak dinners after the stimulus vote.

I can't even finish either article. Someone please tell me when it is over.
