Not-Shorter Megan McArdle:
I'm just to good to be true.
I'm much more moderate than you.
It'd be like heaven to rule
Over partisan creatures like you.
At long last I have arrived
To tell you how to survive.
I'm just too good to be true.
I'm much more moderate than you.
Pardon the way that I declare
You can't afford new health care
And that the stimulus plot
Is just some socialist rot.
So if you feel like I feel
Please let me know you're for real
'Cause I'm too good to be true
I'm much more moderate than you.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
When wingnut welfare runs free
And people listen to me.
I'm David Brooks' favorite, see,
No one's more moderate than me.
I'm just too good to be true.
I'm much more moderate than you!
Am I the only one picturing Heath Ledger singing that?
ReplyDeleteGive Megan a break. Not only does she have to construct her straw men from scratch, but also has to bear the burden of being better than they are. It must be exhausting.
ReplyDeleteToday is back to pure stupid in the surtax thread. "Amazing" that a tax to pay for a $100 billion a year program is only expected to raise - $100 billion a year! Plus, she tries to act all clever by using the term "basis points", & screws it up completely.
ReplyDeleteMcArdle has difficulty with the basis points concept, as evidenced by this post.
ReplyDeleteThe first two commenters helpfully point out that she is off by an order of magnitude.
Some many errors. So little time.
