Next Up: Convincing Others ("Nicely") To Stop

"For just one week we should ban the verb 'stimulate' and the noun 'stimulus' — and substitute instead the more honest 'borrow,' or 'print,' or 'debt'; as in 'The government plans to borrow another $1 trillion for the economy,' or 'The administration today decided to print another $300 billion in cash.' Or 'Congress met to consider a $1 trillion debt program.' But as it is now, the euphemisms only take us ever more distant from reality, as trillions of dollars are bandied about as if they were mere five and tens in the government wallet."

-- Victor Davis Hanson, finally getting TMR to recognize (as long as they talk like a prig and keep the subject away from spiritual "beliefs") someone can openly admit people are insane and be respected - unless "ever more distant from reality" has a meaning TMR doesn't recognize - to The National Review.

Oooh. Never thought of that before. Crazy.
