What are the odds that Naomi Klein writes a book about how Obama and the current administration/Congress is capitalizing on the current crisis to implement a whole slate of reforms they have been wanting to implement for years? It is far from shocking to see politicians (and their apologists) claiming that the mess we're in clearly shows the desperate need to implement whatever policies they have been advocating regardless of the state of the economy. I'm pretty sure that famous saying about the Chinese words for "crisis" and "opportunity" being the same is a myth, but to politicians, it certainly isn't. And that goes for those from the left as well as the right. They're all the same snake-oil salesmen.
Man, oh man. March Madness and baseball season can't come soon enough.
