According to conservatives from Dec. 2008, we're supposed to be in a dystopian hellhole by now.

No, really, how cool would this type of life be?





I mean, you've got Tina Turner and mohawks and an assorted variety of furs and feathers and studded leather.

Instead, we have to read headlines like this from this morning:

At a time when the economy had already taken off.

I did what they said. I didn't "blame" them for the expanding economy.
