Out of morbid curiosity, I tuned into whoever was today's stunt Rush on my lunch break, and caught him going on (and on, and on....) about the CBS Reagan biopic coming up in November, and how dreadful it was going to be in part because James Brolin, yes, Mr. Barbra Streisand, was going to be playing Reagan. Earth to wingnut: he's an actor. What, you think he's going to be making snippy liberal asides to the audience?

Anyway, the guy was going on about how it was important for the liberals to be able to deny that Reagan's marginal tax rate cuts created the economic boom of the 80s (which they didn't -- the boom didn't start until the subsequent tax increase), because if they could do that, they could also deny that Bush's tax cuts caused the economic boom of this decade.

Exsqueeze me? The only "economic boom" in this decade is caused by the air rushing in to fill the gap of the jobs going overseas.
