"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Joe the Fever

Joe Fever is Spreadinig

Apparently, so are typos. I'm thinking they meant "Joe Fever is Spreading".

All because of Joe Wurzelbacher, an Ohio man whose conversation about taxes with Democratic nominee Barack Obama triggered a wave of protest by Republicans. They seized on Obama's explanation of how his tax plan would help share prosperity to brand Obama as someone who wanted to spread the wealth and practice socialism.


Holy spin doctoring, Batman! Republicans are branding Sen. Obama as someone who wanted to spread the wealth around? Gee, how ever did they get that idea? Oh, that's right, from Sen. Obama's own mouth:

"I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."


Oh, those evil Republicans. How dare they make The One's "spread the wealth around" sound like he's saying he wants to spread the wealth around. Have they no shame?!?
