    Personally, I like the Crash Test Dummies version of The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead. They perform it with a slightly faster tempo which makes the lyrics more whimsical than cynical. Also, Ellen Reid didn’t, as it were, take center stage too often and she nailed the vocals.

    Was not aware of that version. Thanks!

    I really want to still like Larry Kudlow, but he just doesn’t seem to offer any kind of intelligent analysis of Trump. He is see no evil/hear no evil/speak no evil with Trump, and it is tiring. Good Lord, George W. Bush, a more believable conservative/Republican got more criticism from people like Larry.  Larry feels like one of those 5th Avenue supporters – he will go down with the ship.

    When Larry says Trump is focused like a laser beam he sounds down right silly.

    In fairness to Larry, it was Steve Moore who said that Trump was “focused like a laser beam” – I believe it was tax reform policy that was the subject of this concentrated gaze. But I agree that it’s a pretty ludicrous description of a guy with a short attention span and no taste for policy details.

    You are correct it was Steve Moore.  Which in a way is very courious as Steve was the less optimistic one?
