Sorry about the mixing of blog and Twit medium, but it's better than being horse-whipped, right?

Don't worry, I'm not going to keep doing this. You can go to Mark's main Twitter site and scroll back at your leisure.

Just a note for Mark: If you keep playing with your Twitter, it could fall off. That's what they tell me, anyway.

better looking?

Any mention in this "world has changed" speech about free trade?

Has the corporatist Obama flown into the western foothills of NC to announce the realization that a free trade agreement with South Korea is economic insanity, and he's now dropped that plan?

If you liked NAFTA, you'll love the Korea free trade agreement. Once again brought to you by new um, Third Way, er... neoliberal Democrats.

 

I wonder if now that
