George Will on the Democrats’ "New Deal nostalgia" re the minimum wage, which, rather than be raised, should be lowered to $0! Will is exactly right, but, alas, it won’t happen. In the meantime, Nancy Pelosi is already calling herself "the most powerful woman in America." She talks about breaking glass and marble ceilings (how many are there?) and about "the power" and about cutting in line, and having tea with women, etc. I am reminded of Rosalind in As You Like It: "Do you know I am a woman? When I think I must speak." I love politics.
This is all to the good...we want the Dems, and particularly Princess Nancy, to overreach. We want them to be obnoxious and overconfident. We want them at their totalitarian best. This is good news.
Whoo hoo, just wait until the committee hearings begin on Bush and the war. When Conyers spotlights Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, et al.
I’ve said this before, but lowering the minimum wage is an ingenious plan. It will curb illegal immigration, because finally they’ll be able to hire Americans for the same price!
And at last, we’ll achieve economic parity with Mexico.
