Solution to Reaganomics: the NFL model

*
My blogworld pal Dan Solomon writes a column called Down and Distance for a separate blog. His general topic is the nexus between politics and football that endlessly invites people to draw metaphors between the two domains. In his latest column, Dan points out something completely obvious that only Senator Bernie Sanders could possibly grasp (assuming he's a Patriots fan): the NFL is a wildly successful business enterprise because it has transformed its business model to include a huge helping of Socialism while retaining its fundamentally competitive character. Check it out, because it has a certain amount of relevance to this.

  1. Yes, time for Dems to write the bill exactly as it ought to be and pass it while the Reps are celebrating the Jewish holidays at their local NASCAR track. Then defy Bush not to sign it. He will, and the country will win. And the Reps can just stay home until January.

    Someone needs to lecture McCain on what being a leader is. He doesn't have a clue. He should be forced to watch video and audio of Barney Frank for a week straight. That's how it's done.
