"  (Optional Musical Accompaniment To This Post) You may recall that besides being The Dancing Master, David Gregory also is known in these parts as The King Of Pain, since he rarely misses an opportunity on Disco Dave&amp;#039;s Disco Dance Party to ask some mover or shaker when he&amp;#039;s finally going to put the greedy olds and the greedy poor under the lash so that the deficit won&amp;#039;t slip into his home on the Vineyard and eat his face for him. He is, of course, not alone. A great many of our more prominent gobshites have adopted discreet zombie-eyed granny starving as an ethos. If they hadn&amp;#039;t, then Paul Ryan would be slumbering in the same congressional remainder bin as Louie Gohmert. You may have wondered why. Wonder no longer. The success of Pete Peterson at getting the country to come as close as he has to handing the Social Security trust fund over to him and the rest of the gamesters of Triskelion has been a wonder to behold. Not that Republicans needed a lot of convincing, but the way he&amp;#039;s found Democratic suckers, and romanced the more easily gulled members of the courtier press, have been his real triumphs. It&amp;#039;s nice to have it all laid out in a clear and simple way as various Washington elites prepare once again to shove the last untainted quatloos into the rigged casino on Wall Street. Don&amp;#039;t believe anything is a accident. This has been a very long con. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
