By reading what he has last written, just before he recommences his task, the writer will catch the tone and spirit of what he is then saying, and will avoid the fault of seeming to be unlike himself.

Straight Out of the Acme Manual

 

No jobs? Political seats to be lost? Never fear - the Super Genius has a plan!

Propose $50 billion in more stimulus - even though it failed the first time it was tried.

Here's the calculus:

  • Enough Republicans will vote for it because they'll be painted as obstructionists by the media if they don't, and because it allows them to throw some pork around.
  • Use the money to hire as many people as possible to prop up the jobs figures.
  • The media will go bonkers trying to cheerleader this thing into public euphoria.
  • It will fail, but it will only be shown to fail after the November elections, so it's okay, see...
As I've said, this election is not about the politicians. It's a massive test of the intelligence of the American people.
