You know what we haven't done in a while, due to fatigue or nerves or hangovers or whatever it's called? A Comment of the Day, that's what! Let's do one right now, and honor Mr. or Mrs. NebraskashireGentry for this smart economic advice in response to our tragic 4 a.m. Great Depression II post.

It’s simple economics.

Also: Poor people love Hillary Clinton, so if we could capitalize on that in some way .… Though if known geniuses Terry McAuliffe and Mark Penn couldn’t figure out how, there’s little hope for the rest of us.
