The revived twitter feed is comedy gold.

I guess if you can’t make it on the PGA tour, the next best thing is PGA Tourettes.

Hahaha.

“My, you look nicely heveled today!”

I always wondered why there is no “mediately” – as in “I’ll get to that mediately”

There’s something beautiful about that – nonce formation.

A very old sounding term to describe a very new word.

Perfect. You did teach me something.

Glad you said it first, I was going to be a gentleman and keep my mouth shut (I looked it up too) This is why I love this place, so many people here have a lot of intellectual integrity.

I think you’re about to teach me something.

I’d be likely to use repaint, I’m embarrassed to admit. What’s the rule there, if you wouldn’t mind setting me straight.

With signage in particular, I think it’s a class thing. (Which is why it steams me).

A sign is something you put up when you’ve lost your cat. We’re the museum, dontcha know. We have *signage*

For some reason, this topic has me going.

“At the end of the day…”

Somebody should take that phrase out and have it shot. And they shouldn’t wait for the day to be over to do it.

I worked for a little while at a museum.

Signage.

Sweet mother of jebbus – signage.

There is no place, none, that just plain “signs” doesn’t work and work better.

I’m a little late to the party, but I do have the feeling that poor George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina still has not received the attention he so richly deserves.

Far be it from me to refrain from helping bring George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina to the notice of the myriad googlers of the world. In fact, it would be a plain disservice to George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina to deprive people of the entire range of personality traits made public by the online activity of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina.

No need to thank me, George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. Glad to help out.

“Sorry, but FDR didn’t fix the depression, WW2 did”

I thought we were having a discussion – I didn’t realize i was dealing with someone who is such a knee-jerk arch conservative that they would deny historical reality to try to bolster a point..

Oh well, my search for an intellectually honest right-winger continues.

You couldn’t be more wrong. As I recall, the collapse of the economy happened in September of 2008. Obama, you will note, took office in January of 2009.

As I said, this was solved by FDR – he called it priming the pump. It worked then, it’ll work now.

Government most certainly can, and has in the past “juiced” – to use your loaded, deceptive and derogatory term – demand. This keeps the economy going which means that jobs don’t go away.

Crack a history book.

And when the unfettered free-market, with its boom-and-bust disfunction fails to generate those jobs which is what’s been happening increasingly since the conservatives have had their laissez-faire ways, then yes – no jobs, no demand.

This problem was solved quite nicely 80 years ago by FDR – a solution conservatives have thrown away in their short-sighted stupidity starting with Reagan. Nice job – thanks for screwing up the economy for the rest of us.

“So where do jobs come from…?”

Consumer demand. Which increases when middle class people get an extra $25.00 a week – because they’ll spend every dime of it. As opposed to the 1% at the top who will either sit on it, or more likely play the wall street casino by putting their giant tax breaks into hedge funds which generate nothing useful – unless you consider nearly bringing the economy crashing down useful.

We’ve been hearing this same clap-trap about “job creators” needing all the breaks from economically illiterate conservatives for 30 years. And for those 30 years the people at the top have gotten break after break. Where are the jobs? Your philosophy is as bankrupt as it’s made the American middle class – the real job creators.
