Lets tap the breaks a couple times before rushing to judgement. The WSJ editorial page has one demographic. Perhaps The Divine Ms. N. wants her audience of lockstep conservatives to step back for a moment and rethink their prejudices. She's being coy about it. (That's her trademark. She read somewhere, that's how ladies make a point.) Remember how we were always told to just give Rush Limbaugh's show a try? Maybe Peggs is hinting for her audience to look into some alternate sources of discourse about this grand old republic. She's the ally we never thought we had, working from within the very heart of the system to bring it down.

My bulb was dim enough this morning that I briefly considered Peg's shark chum more or less as you (slyly) do. But that was only 'cause I tend to offer benefits to doubt. Thing is, now the reps gonna eliminate all (non-shareholder) benefits, so no, not this time...

Periodic reminder that slaves were also "property".

Well, what better qualification for knowing how the country should be run than owning OTHER PEOPLE?

Republicans should get 3/5 of a vote for each one of those they own

I could imagine a modern-day version that's like the per-axle charges at the toll booth. Drive an F-250 pulling a double-axle boat trailer and you get twice as many votes as the Prius driver.

Her charming WFB anecdote is literally that. Like Hillary saying Trump loves his children (or was it the other way around, either way its a lie), the 1 good thing you can say about Republicans is that they tell us exactly what they will do.
