Yeah, Kudlow suffers from two diseases:
A: He is the eternal optimist about America and the economy.
B: He just deals inside the Manhattan to DC corridor, and never sees the real world.
Too bad - his instincts are great - but he’s out of touch.
It is a "disease" now to be optimistic about America, is it?
And because you are by contrast so much more the pessimist, what you have to say allegedly somehow carries more weight?
Larry's opinions have been published and read since the Reagan years and his optimism -- also scoffed at at the time by liberal "intelligentsia"-- was reflective of the success of that era as well.
Your depression-laced blogs will be forgettable long before you have even composed them, Eddie.
Maybe your opinions will gain some standing when they can garner the media exposure Kudlow has had for 30 years, and demonstrate any credible hope of remaining 1/2 as relevant 30 years later.
Until then, "C. Edmund"'s blogs will rate about the same as might a "Crazy Eddie" blog on "-ludes."
FreeRepublic ought to consider awarding "Eeyore"'s to some depression-driven posters around here the same way the political analysts award "Pinocchio"'s to all the "politi-fibbers."
