Even If Irony Isn't Dead It's Certainly Limping

How do you suppose a man who makes his living at an organization funded by donations and grants can look himself in the mirror after decrying spending other people's money.

It's not like he has his hands on the controls of the engines of production or anything. He's just suckling at a different public teat.

  3. Fred Dooley?

    In any case, the wealthy must love the "common" conservatives like Fred. They don't have the talent or means to acquire wealth like the super-rich, but they sure are doing the legwork to make sure the super-rich stay wealthy.

    What sort of thanks do you think Fred will receive?

  4. Fred works hard and doesn't make a living off of anyone but himself...so grumps isn't talking about him.

    I think grumps means John MacIver who started the MacIver Institute...but I could be wrong. I never heard of John MacIver so I can't comment on what he does or doesn't do.

  5. Anon, John MacIver is long dead. They named this institute in his, erm, honor.

  6. I know the answer, but I am too busy laughing at Anon's comment about Fred working hard.

    I know, it's not nice, but it strikes me funny bone.

  7. My guess is MacIver machine President Brett Healy, who is apparently working local goverenment (Waukesha Co.) for stimulus/infrastructure funds.
