Entry #2993: When Your Feet Say Go

I was reading some comments on Krugman’s Severe Conservative Syndrome column I linked to yesterday, and this one nails it (from SK in Cambridge MA):

To solve any problem, follow this procedure:

1. Cut taxes.
2. If the problem remains, privatize.
3. If the problem remains, deregulate.
4. If the problem remains, start a war.
5. If the problem remains, pray harder.
6. If the problem remains, blame it on liberalism.
7. Get re-elected and go back to step 1.

Stuff you should know: How to increase the life of your disposable razor, survive quicksand, make your teeth whiter, remove stripped screws, escape from a buried coffin and other useful things.
