Here's a scary thought:

Nothing like a little paranoia and tinfoil as we approach the halfway mark to the year and sail blithely onward into the Bush Administration's unopposed getaway.

The scariest part is the troubling manner in which the speaker presents, bit by bit, reminders of how things as pithy as "Constitutional law" have failed to stand up to this Administration, so why would they risk an onslaught of investigations and missing a critical pardon opportunity when they could simply use the rules, regs and EOs they've put into place to simply stay where they are?

It's a troubling thought likely to keep many die-hard, hard-core anti-neoconservatives up late at night.

Sleep well.

NOTE: This is ~not~ an invitation to wax poetic on tinfoil plots and conspiracy theories. I came across the video in a comment this morning over here and thought the video would be an interesting item for people to view and comment upon -- that's it. Please, no hysteria: save it for waking up at night at 3 am and looking over at the ominous red phone hovering outside the bedroom window...

From the poster Becca in the Delphi Forum Pulling to the Left there's this bit of glum news:

_____

If you go to the Financial Forecast Center, you'll find the current 6-month T-bill yield from the US Treasury. There are links to other forecasts on the page, so you can see how truly spectacularly (yes, that's sarcasm) this economy is chugging along.

What does the Financial Forecast Center show? A rather depressing graph:

It's a good thing that the GOP, the Bush Administration and George W. Bush himself are telling us we're not in a recession -- acknowledging it might actually mean they'd have to take some responsibility for doing something about it, instead of leaving it (and the myriad of other disasters they've spawned) for the next Administration to clean up.

No wonder the Republican brand is in trouble -- it's true value is now plainly evident, and it's worth far less than the junk bonds it is printed upon.
