Happy New Year LPS!

"I think the next wave of paternalism will trump the War on Poverty, the War on Drugs, et al definitively in terms of its socioeconomic redistributism and the unintended consequences that arise as a result of it. And, whether in intent or by actual stated mandate - as I've said in a tongue-in-cheek manner a few times now - it will roughly take the form of a strict, governmentally-instrumented War on Unhappiness."

Brilliant. Speaking of wars, you should have seen the interviews of the newly minted Senators. They will all be fighting the "war on the economy" for our economic security. Glad to see they memorized their lines so well...

We could take the advice of Monty Python's Fairy Tale and sentence them to be hanged until they cheer up.
