| #8 Before inflation soars too high, more likely you'll see pols implementing Nixonian wage and price controls resulting in shortages and either direct government or economic rationing, think Obamanomics in a manner of Obamacare. |

| #7 Thanks to Barry and his borrowing we may be faced with Zimbabwe on the Mississippi, but it will be far, far worse in Germany, France and the UK I assure you. Sounds a lot like Europe pre-WWII. These economic dislocations are often precursors to war. |

| #6 In America, we don't have revolutions; we have elections. Unfortunately sometimes the result is the same. |

| #5 The dollar is sliding throughout Europe almost as fast as the Europeon economies. To say there is a general mood of apprehension is the wildest of understatements. Thanks to Barry and his borrowing we may be faced with Zimbabwe on the Mississippi, but it will be far, far worse in Germany, France and the UK I assure you. |

| #4 The 2010 elections will be the watermark for US: whether we will slide into the abyss of history as another failed experiment, or whether this is just another painful midcourse correction(think US civil war) in our journey. |

| #3 Steyn is brilliant, but my favorite part: Twenty years ago this fall, the Iron Curtain was coming down in Europe. Across the Warsaw Pact, the jailers of the Communist prison states lost their nerve, and the cell walls crumbled. Matt Welch, the editor of Reason magazine, wonders why the anniversary is going all but unobserved: Why aren't we making more of the biggest mass liberation in history? Well, because to celebrate it would involve recognizing it as a victory over Communism. And, after the Left's long march through the institutions of the West, most are not willing to do that. There's the bad totalitarianism (Nazism) and the good totalitarianism (Communism), whose apologists and, indeed, fetishists can still be found everywhere, even unto the White House. Passing the benefit of doubt timeline here. |

| #2 Personally, when someone praises Mao, they no longer get the benefit of the doubt from me. |

| #1 After watching the Anita Dunn clip on the Glen Beck show, (and the Van Jones debacle) can anyone doubt the Communist leanings of Bambi and his minions? |
