…Boots. But let’s have a word from someone who doesn’t do the old One-Two Goosestep March. “Wouldn’t it be nice if just once, on some issue, the Bush administration came up with a plan that didn’t involve weakened environmental protection, financial breaks for wealthy individuals and corporations and reduced public oversight?” — Paul Krugman A […]
