And I missed it. Unfortunately, the local ABC affiliate here in San Diego has this thing about moving the time "This Week" appears just to tick me off. I've got the VCR set to catch it at its "normal" time -- 10 a.m., but this week, instead, I got some NASA show.

Anyway, Donald Luskin, caught the show, and has a question for the irresponsibly hyperbolic New York Times columnist.

In contrast, on NBC's "Meet the Press," Times columnist William Safire, on the subject of deficits and tax cuts, pointed out that the overuse of the phrase "______ as far as the eye can see" is demonstrative of only one fact -- "The eye can't see very far."
