Phony panic mongerers! (mongrels?)

Mark Steyn writes with an enviable wit which masks a devastating literary 'left'-hook (excuse the pun).

His piece on the self deluded excesses of Obamamania and it's phony panic mongering ends with a most acute observation:

The American Dream, 2011: You pay four bucks a gallon to commute between your McJob and your underwater housing to prop up a spendaholic, grabafeelic, paramilitarised bureaucracy-without-end bankrupting your future at the rate of a fifth of a billion dollars every hour. In a sane world, Americans would be outraged at the government waste. Instead, our elites worry about sea levels. The oceans will do just fine. It's the US that's drowning.
