Yeah, Kudlow suffers from two diseases: A: He is the eternal optimist about America and the economy.

It is a "disease" now to be optimistic about America, is it?

And because you are by contrast so much more the pessimist, what you have to say allegedly somehow carries more weight?

Larry's opinions have been published and read since the Reagan years and his optimism -- also scoffed at at the time by liberal "intelligentsia"-- was reflective of the success of that era as well.

Your depression-laced blogs will be forgettable long before you have even composed them, Eddie.

Maybe your opinions will gain some standing when they can garner the media exposure Kudlow has had for 30 years, and demonstrate any credible hope of remaining 1/2 as relevant 30 years later.

Until then, "C. Edmund"'s blogs will rate about the same as might a "Crazy Eddie" blog on "-ludes."

FreeRepublic ought to consider awarding "Eeyore"'s to some depression-driven posters around here the same way the political analysts award "Pinocchio"'s to all the "politi-fibbers."

Whoa there aggie - you need to climb down off of your high horse - and do it carefully so you don’t snag your skirt.

It is a disease to be optimistic about America in general? No. Is Kudlow guilty of being overly optimistic? Yes, for many years. But that’s not the point.

To correct your major mistake, optimism under Reagan is well founded. Much of the opportunity we had under Reagan is long gone, thanks primarily to Obama and The Fed. Kudlow has not seemed to understand that. He seems not to understand the disaster main street entrepreneurialism is under.

And I have no depression blogs - you are on crack.
