If you want to get really loaded, really fast, there's no way Amstel is going to cut it. Pound a half-dozen Jäger or Tequila shots in thirty minutes—that'll do it.

i know little about lamont, but if he really is ahead in the conn. polls, he's not "hard left" - he's mainstream democrat.

I didn't label Lamont "hard left," I labeled his blogospheric associates "hard left."

true. do you feel lonely in the middle, bill?

it's not fair that only the outrageous posters (on each side) create our daily blogsphere mini-scandals. do you ever crave a "wanker of the day" designation from atrios? or a malkin smackdown?

So help me out here. Unemployment's still much lower than average, there's still not much wage inflation, and our GDP growth went from a blistering rate to to one thats still the envy of nearly every other developed country on earth. And Dr. Morici thinks stagflation has arrived? I'm sure no PhD, but it seems to me that low unemployment along with low inflation and decent GDP growth is kind of the opposite of stagflation.

My bet's that the slowdown's just a sign that firms, after 5 years, are finally not able to drive huge GDP growth just by increasing productivity. So now they need to start hiring to help drive growth and for the next few years we'll have even lower unemployment, but we'll have inflation due to increased wages while GDP keeps growing well. Eventually, inflation will grow enough that it eats up the GDP growth and we'll head into a recession. That being how the business cycle is supposed to work and all.

do you ever crave a "wanker of the day" designation from atrios?

No, in the sense that it would send a lot of crazy mean people into my comments who would use awful language. Yes, in the sense that the nature of one's enemies can reflect well on a person.

do you feel lonely in the middle, bill?

Yes.

Hold me?

I'll hold you, Bill. I'll hold you.
