Ah, what's a poor blogger/curator of the best damn Reserve Room in the chaotic Library known as the Internet/Web to do? The skewering of Big Love in today's reading was exquisite.

See what Krugerand Man (Paul Krugman) did to Big Love's "secret plan" to create millions of jobs here. Also see what an equity trader (like Big Love) had to say about Big Love's aptitude for the Oval Office here. Finally, Eags (Timothy Egan) snarks Big Love plutocratic plan here. If this is a (fair & balanced) superfecta of snark, so be it.

Then everyone’s life is enhanced. Ω
