Exactly! I spend some money on Wonkette and presto, Sarah gets to grift on the tee-vee while electricity and internet providers reap the benefit of selling more electrons so thousands can read the Fartknocker Report.

"tying the economic recovery to spending cuts ushered in by the sequester and to the continuation of 85 percent of the Bush tax cuts"

Without those, it's true, there'd have been no (need for a) recovery.

All it takes to believe Norquist is throwing out all concept of causality, reality or the basic mechanics of time. The GOP does that before breakfast.

Rebranding suggestion. Take a tip from the Kool Klass Kognoscienti:

We don't hate women, the poors, the working class, the gheys, the Jews, the Mooselimbs, the blacks, browns chartreuse and vermillion. We just love the billionaires who look like us.

Oh, it's doing well?

We did that! We did that! We did that!

Grover is back! He's risen from the ashes of the missing post like the Wingnut Phoenix! I guess that whole Burning Man thingy really made an impression on him...

So...you want people to think that the economy is recovering because of a continuation of the Bush tax cuts, which were implemented years before the recession ever started? Good luck with that.
