Boy, that was a morning of the undead.

First, we had DeMint assuring us that businessmen he talks to say that fear of regulation — and the National Labor Relations Board!– is holding them back. Strange to say, actual attempts to talk to businesspeople, like this excellent McClatchy report, don’t find anything like that.

Then Douglas Holtz-Eakin repeated the claim, and also did the “we’re about to be Greece” thing after a week in which the 10-year Treasury fell to 2 percent.

OK, that’s what happens with zombie ideas– no matter how often you kill them, they keep coming back. But don’t these people ever get embarrassed?

Smarmy asshole.

The 4 TeeVee Network news channels are generally all-zombie, all the time.
