Ah yes - the venerable NYT Op-Ed Morons.

Seems he has the same disease as Gail Collins.

Now they are plagiarizing each other.

Unbelievable.


Friedman was funny though on a recent CNN panel discussion. When asked if
he thought the auto industry should get a bailout after the CEO's appeared
before Congress, he went nutty, saying, NO!
Bail maybe, but no bailout.

Friedman is a pop-economist. That's more dangerous than being a
simple amateur.

It's ok. I had no idea what it meant anyway.

Tom's predictions about the election went waaaaaaaay south. He's upset.

I'm glad you mentioned Thanksgiving Day, Harry.

I believe in the words of Moses when he wrote in the book of
Dueteronomy:



Were you aware that the Pilgrims, who originated "Thanksgiving," when
trying to find a way to be thankful for their survival and for the food
they were eating, looked to the Old Testament and then based their holiday
on the Jewish festival of Sukkot?




Nonesense.

The Pilgrims invented Thanksgiving because Squantum gave them a head's up
that
a stadium was being built over in Foxboro and Patriot's football would be
broadcast live as soon as somebody invented television.

I thought everyone knew that.
