Quote for the Day

The widest circulation print paper is hardly liberal-biased ...

All of this is par for the course; the WSJ editorial page has been like this for 35 years. Nonetheless, it got me wondering: what do these people really believe?

I mean, they’re not stupid — life would be a lot easier if they were. So they know they’re not telling the truth. But they obviously believe that their dishonesty serves a higher truth — one that is, in effect, told only to Inner Party members, while the Outer Party makes do with prolefeed.

The question is, what is that higher truth? What do these people really believe in?

-Paul Krugman


Uh, ... themselves?

On a less cynical note, the regional Republicans, today, are partly like 60s leftist radicals - they believe only in criticism. How else can one justify holding mutual exclusive beliefs, even allowing for temporization?
