EK lays the smack down on the empty rhetoric that dominates popular discourse here in BananaAmerica!

It is fashionable in Tennessee to be a Republican, to quote James Madison and to cheer the bandwagon of states in which legislation has been or is planned to be introduced to fight federal health care reforms as unconstitutional, but who is that really helping? How is all of this fashionable populist rage going to work out for you, the voter after next year? Will Stacey Campfield create jobs? Will Steve Cohen lower premiums? Will Lamar Alexander or Jim Haslam diversify our energy sources? Will John Duncan, Jr. or Marsha Blackburn provide your children with a more globally competitive education? Instead of talking to your friends and family over the holidays about productive means by which to get our country out of the red, would you like to run away with Robin Smith this Christmas to a place with no government, everyone is armed to the teeth, there’s a beach – Somalia, anyone?
