Aimless are you not familiar with the lyrical heights attained by Will's deep catalog of pop hits

his whole brand, even to people who like him, is a redfaced prick.

Children are not working in factories and they're not working in the fields, but you have millions of families today who do not know how they're gonna feed their kids tonight. That's a fact. So many of these problems remain, maybe not as severe. But his vision is a vision that I share.

Including an "overthrow of the capitalist system"?

No, no, no. Now you're being provocative. If you follow my campaign, have you heard me talk about overthrowing the capitalist economic system?

No, I haven't.

little known fact: when composing his mellifluous prose, George Will listens exclusively to the grammatically correct song stylings of Orrin Hatch

He used to dig Springsteen:

In the course of a clumsy encomium, Will managed to contort the experience beyond recognition, ending in a burst of free market bluster: "If all Americans--in labor and management, who make steel or cars or shoes or textiles--made their products with as much energy and confidence as Springsteen and his merry band make music, there would be no need for Congress to be thinking about protectionism." In other words, if you find slapping bumpers onto compact cars less fulfilling than singing rock and roll songs in front of adoring masses, fuck off.

good idea

keep thinking about that, then checking the number of candidates still in the field and going "nah, we're still on board the clown car." i guess eventually it might get down to more a beverly hillbillies car? i really didn't think anybody else was going to pack it in until iowa, but then jindal dropped and who knows, maybe graham, pataki and all-star gilmore will shortly decide it's "not their time."

surely the clown car has taken a beating and needs to be traded in for a slightly newer model?
