Kinsley sighting!  Apparently he's writing a weekly piece for The Daily Beast. His summary of McCain's position on the economic crisis during the last debate:  

1. The bad guys of the economic crisis are greedy bankers. They foisted homes and mortgages on innocent, unsuspecting middle Americans who couldn't afford them and (presumably) shouldn't have gotten them.

2. The Federal Government must buy up all these mortgages so that these people can stay in the houses they can't afford and shouldn't have gotten.

3. Why? Because home ownership is central to the American dream. Even Americans who can't afford a home should have one, and if they happen to get one, which they shouldn't, but might, thanks to unscrupulous bankers, the federal government should step in to make sure they don't lose it.

4. The crisis won't be resolved until house prices start rising again, thus making the American Dream unaffordable to more people.

This is a reminder to myself that I need to go see Man on Wire this week while it's at the local theater. _
