If there is such a thing as an award for excellence for OT postings, I
nominate this one from Paul Middlestat.
I had heard a lot about the wheeling and dealings, the schemes and
machinations of George Soros and the effect it had on entire countries,
but I have never seen it encapsulated so succinctly and brilliantly.
Thanks again Paul.
Ok quick, let's attack Paul Johnson and take a swing at Paul Middlestat
for good measure. :-)

"Perhaps the most sinister Kerry ally is the international financier
George Soros, who boasts that he will devote huge chunks of his
fortune to buying a Democratic victory. Soros has always struck me as
an embodiment of the Marxist caricature of "finance-capitalism," a
sinister spider figure weaving his webs across frontiers. He has a
long record of interfering in the internal affairs of central and
eastern European countries. Much of his wealth comes from his
successful efforts to devalue the pound sterling at the time of the
Exchange Rate Mechanism, which inflicted significant damage on the
welfare of the British people. No other financier of modern times has
made such abusive use of his money to exercise power; I am tempted to
recall the famous saying of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, written
for him by Rudyard Kipling-that this is "Power without
responsibility-the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages."
