This is what I don't get -- stock market fell, disappearing 2 and 1/2 trillion in value -- and the dopes all stood up there and clapped. Why were they clapping? Maybe somebody smarter than me can explain that. Other than that they're dopes.

Extremely fitting. I have a hard time entertaining any political analysis that doesn't incorporate our information environment.

It's hard to understand why voters make the choices they do, until you consider where they get their information.
