Oh, Stop with the Republicrap Already 0

Via Dan Froomkin (emphasis added):

In an interview with The Associated Press, Cheney also said that Bush has no need to apologize for not foreseeing the economic crisis.

“‘I don’t think he needs to apologize. I think what he needed to do is take bold, aggressive action and he has,’ Cheney said. ‘I don’t think anybody saw it coming.’ . . .

Who saw it coming?

Everyone. Anyone.

Rubini. Krugman. Krauss. Just to name three.

But “I don’t think anyone saw it coming” is sure a nice out for those who did it, ain’t it.

Anyone who paid attention. Everyone who did not drink the Republican Kool-Aid.

Even Li’l Ole Me, who ain’t even an economist and whom nobody’s ever heard of (follow the link–it’s from earliest days of this blog, before I turned political).

I didn’t used to be a liberal.* Republicans made me one.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
