What people want to comment on ...

Not here - but over at The Economist. It is interactive depending on where you place your pointer, so head on over and play.

Here is a screen shot. A lot of interesting thoughts on who reads The Economist, what they find of interest, and how they think they are connected.

Yes URR, The Economist is the news magazine thoughtful and well educated people read.

Phib will be posting the clouds for Mad Magazine tomorrow-just so you won't feel slighted. :)

I noticed the comments about the US were related to Israel--"blank check" and all. Sorry the cosmocrat crowd in Europe doesn't like us.

Of course, from a practical perspective, if all of "sophisticated" Europe doesn't like you, does it really mean anything if "you" are the U.S. and can decide to tell them to go pound sand? I mean, what are they going to do if you decide that you aren't going to listen to them and will retaliate in kind to any economic pressures? What can they do? Emo you to death?

Agreed, and I have no doubts the cosmocrat crowd (actually the hipster douchbag phalanx thereof) will rollover and accede to whatever China demands in the South China Sea--regardless of the right or wrong in the matter. It's what they do.  

What drove me to say what I originally did was I am just off-put by the unique combination of self-certitude, viciousness, and desire to dominate/wield power through social group think combined with a hypocritical selective moralities and a total lack of self-awareness of what historically power is based upon if you are going to actually try to excommunicate someone. In other words, they are vicious--but not vicious enough to insure the job stays done.

Or in other other words, these are the people whose stupidities and inabilities to understand human nature starts wars--but they are not the kind of people to win them.
