Paul Krugman, I link to him almost weekly, hits it out of the park
again. He excoriates the "centrists" of the Senate who doomed the
stimulus bill to almost comical mediocrity. I just wish he named names.
Collins (ME) *cough* Nelson (NE) *cough* Fools the both of them. Fools
for believing them.

Obama's turn to the middle is terribly misguided. If I wanted some
centrist ideology in my president, then I would've voted for Mrs.
Clinton. There's nothing to gain in inviting Republicans to sing
Kumbaya with you. They're busy sharpening their knives. You dance with
them and you'll have a shiv in your back. The centrists are the ones
playing the dance music.

The shrill one is back. Damn right, Paul. Damn right.
