American presidential elections are not “home affairs.” American decisions have repercussions all over the globe. The American mortgage crisis affects banks in Europe. The insatiable American demand for oil makes the Arabian sheiks rich. The American refusal to care for the environment causes the North Pole ice to melt and coastal areas in Asia to flood. A weakened dollar and an immense budget deficit affect the global economy.
Or maybe Miss Barr is just another one of those rich, uneducated elitists who get intemperate when they do not get their own way. Sort of like when a judge orders Britney Spears to take a drug test. I hear she gets so angry that she finally puts on a pair of panties so she can get them in a bunch.
Which reminds me to ask, just how do all these rich liberals hang on to their money like this from generation to generation?

InsideHigherEd discusses a new way to tax the rich that has caused a rift among Massachusetts’ Democrats: [Note to Self: Remember this when liberals argue that the rich should pay more taxes.] The next time Democrats talk about taxing the rich, they should start with these 9 colleges in Massachusetts.

It’s nearly mid-summer here in the beautiful Midwest. The old saying about the corn being “knee high by the 4th of July” is laughably anachronistic. These days, with hybrid seeds, scientific farming methods, and soil so rich it’s almost a separate food group by itself, the corn is waist high by now and reaching for the sky.
Frank Rich of the New York Times, disappointed by Barack Obama's "small-bore" campaign since he won the Democratic nomination, has transferred his affections to a new liberal hero: Wall-E, a computer-generated cartoon of a waste-disposal robot from the brilliant animated film of the same name. It's not as much of a stretch as usual for the Times columnist to ascribe political meaning to the hit Pixar movie, as he does in today's newspaper. The stifling corporation that serves as government in the year 2700 is a composite of McDonalds, Wal-Mart and Halliburton; the bloated humans in their floating barcaloungers represent the evolutionary destiny of a species sedated by automation, fast-food and electronic displays; and the call to save the planet could have come from Al Gore, had he the wit and computer graphics skills. Rich is not the only commentator to tease out Wall-E's political agenda: some conservatives have even called for a boycott of the movie and its merchandise. Now it's entirely predictable that Frank Rich adopted a planet-saving robot as his fantasy presidential candidate; he loves a good pop-culture reference; and any flesh-and-blood politician, even one from central casting such as Barack Obama, can only disappoint 2008's fervent liberals. Nor are Pixar's own political leanings that surprising: the studio is run by former hippies and based in the ultra-liberal Bay Area; and the writer-director of Wall-E has a particularly worthy pedigree: his credits include the writing on Sam Mendes' anti-war drama, Jarhead.
