...misery. Already, there are ominous signs of irrational exuberance. For example, China Green earned just $31 million in revenues and $14 million in profits in its last fiscal year from its distinctly unsexy business of growing cabbages and other produce and selling packaged vegetables such as boiled corn. Yet Hong Kong retail investors put in orders for nearly $4 billion of its stock, acting as if this tiny firm with about 150 employees is destined to become a global titan. In the short term, such suspension of disbelief can be highly profitable, but it can also prove...
Looking out over 45 acres of pens with 7,000 head of cattle, feedlot owner Norm Haaland is concerned but philosophical. From his second-story vantage point at TBone Feeders in Shepherd, Mont., he watches corn trucks rumble in to dump loads of feed. He is worried about the fallout from the mad-cow crisis, but his cattlemen customers are more concerned about the recent U.S. decision to allow imports of boxed beef from Canada as long as it comes from cattle younger than 30 months.

...starters, they--the universal epithet--are liars. Besides Franken, David Corn holds forth for 337 pages on The Lies of George W. Bush; Coulter followed Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right with Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism. They are also elitists and exclusionary. Writes Ingraham in Shut Up & Sing, liberal elites "think where we live--anywhere but near or in a few major cities--is stupid." (Ingraham, says her "About the Author" note, "lives in the Washington area.") They control the media--notwithstanding the best seller you are holding...
