Yep, it was always about the gold in them thar’ hills, a paean to 1950’s sensibilities, which precluded tough guys from admitting they wanted to do the right thing because it was the right thing. Fortunately, the film made fun of that reluctance, but then it was also western fantasy. But in the original Seven, it was Brad Dexter, not Richard Long.

Yep. Glennzilla agrees, and skewers Village Idiot David Brooks:

David Brooks’ pretense that the very same people who did this should now be vested with oligarchical power as the “New Establishment” is indescribably deceitful.

Paulson the same person who sold 500 million dollars worth of Goldman Sachs stock before he took the Secretary of the Treasury job. No conflict of interest there.

After listening to Paulson last Friday and on the Sunday talk shows I felt as if the American Taxpers were watching the biggest U.S. Treasury Heist and Paulson was the inside hit man with a gun held to our Reps and the American taxpayers heads saying ”now or later”.

Karl Rove is here today and in Calgary tomorrow. He is being hosted by the Fraser Institute — think AEI and then move several degrees to the right.

Maybe this is just wingnut welfare, but there is an election on here too.

If Japan stops believing in the U.S.’s nuclear guarantee, I guess their next step is to go nuclear.

Is this like in The Magnificent Seven when the character played by Richard Long is doing his dying swan thing and asks Chris, the guntotin’ guru played by Yul Brynner, to reveal to him that he’s not given his life for two meals of beans one fried the other re-fried, in fact the village has been hiding a fortune in finely-wrought Spanish silver left behind by the Conquistadores?

Sure freep; you had it right all along; that’s the plan.

Just not OUR plan.
