Qute of the day

And your quote of the day:

...it’s getting truly serious when the House minority leader — essentially, the nation’s second-ranking Republican (after Rush Limbaugh) — declares that the answer to the economy’s downward spiral is a spending freeze That’s not a retrogression to Herbert Hoover; even Hoover knew better than that.

Paul Krugman, commenting on the latest insane GOP proposal, which is that government spending be frozen even as the country stands on the edge of an economic precipice brought on by a financial liquidity crisis. If any further proof were needed that the GOP is not serious, is merely playing partisan games, this surely is it.
