In the Arizona 'blogosphere, Martel Firing is probably the master of the succinct, witty post, and he's put up
yet another gem. I'll give only a teaser, and a few remarks:
Volgy said (as accurately as I can remember), “Democrats hire garbage men and pay them well. Republicans contract out the job and the contractors pay the minimum possible. So yes, there is certainly a partisan difference.”
- Volgy just inadvertently provided one of the best explanations for why urban Democrats--and I'm thinking back to days living in New Orleans and, before that, the Chicago area--are so corrupt and so prone to turning everything into a brother-in-law job. Is this why he's a professor of political science?
- A Swiftian economic theory in which a the product of jobs, hours, and wages was maximized instead of utility would be hilarious. Perhaps only to me and two other people, but still, I'd buy that book!
- Having been to San Francisco lately, I'm inclined to think that Martel means "stinks" literally.
