Paulson Debuts

Treasury Secretary designate, Henry Paulson, is currently running the confirmation gauntlet in hearings at the upper chamber of the Great Sausage Factory. So far, he's slapped deficit weenies ("The fiscal deficit is in the realm of historical norm" and "It is manageable.") and affirmed the wisdom of the 2003 tax cuts and the need for true entitlement reform. Thus begins the transformation from a highly accomplished leader of the most respected financial institution in the world to politcal hack, idealogue, supply-side toady and ignoramus doofus maximus in the eyes of the MSM. Paulson goes in a beautiful, vivid butterfly, but unless he refrains from talking like this, the MSM will metamorphasize him into a slimy, splotchy catepillar.

Related note: Bloomberg has finally revamped its website. Not only do they relinquish the title of "Worst Information Website Ever" they have actually made a play for some sort of award. Excellent work folks.
