We Don’ Need No Steenkeen Stagflation but He Almost Said “Malaise”

21 January 2010

From Mona Charen at NRO:

Axel­rod tried to be sooth­ing. “There are mes­sages here. We hear those mes­sages, but there is a ten­dency in this town . . . to overblow things. . . . And I don’t think it’s about that one par­tic­u­lar issue. I think there’s a gen­eral sense of dis­con­tent about the econ­omy and there’s a gen­eral sense of dis­con­tent about this town. That’s why we were elected. We are com­mit­ted to doing some­thing about it.”

A gen­eral sense of dis­con­tent… and … a gen­eral sense of dis­con­tent.

From the Med­i­cine Net:

Malaise: A vague feel­ing of dis­com­fort, one that can­not be pinned down but is often sensed as just not right.
Malaise comes straight from the Frency who com­pounded it from mal (bad or ill ) + aise (ease) = ill at ease.
Hmmm.
  1. A gen­eral sense of discontent
  2. A vague feel­ing of discomfort
I don’t often go in for prophecy, but I am going to offer this one (cue the pipe organ):
Pres­i­dent Oba­maaaa.  Pres­i­dent Obamaaaaa.

Jimmy Carter Comparison Vindicated

9 October 2009

Or was that the Yas­sir Arafat com­par­i­son?  The Albert Gore com­par­i­son?  The Nobel Com­mit­tee ele­vates another mor­tal to Val­halla.  Pres­i­dent Obama joins Jimmy Carter, Albert Gore, and Paul Krug­man in win­ning the prize for the cat­e­gory “Being Against George W. Bush.”

Laureate Barack Obama
