A Hot Summer Night
It was the summer of 1984. Morning in America and all that. Driving across America in a convertible with no real agenda for once. Just a vacation. With me a now ultra famous ‘Republican pollster’ frequently discussed even in our modest comments section here. We were somewhere near Iowa or perhaps Missouri. The stars were [...]
В чем дело?*
Here’s a question for you, Dear Reader, about the road ahead. Over the years together we’ve explored and explained much of the American experience under Christian Socialist Authoritarianism 2001-2008. Sadly, we also assessed Obama correctly in 2007 and warned of recent events. So, what now? Our lengthy joint conversation remains (begun before YouTube, when Arianna [...]
If It’s Tuesday It Must Be Obama
Tuesday offers ominous signs and portents for Obama’s agenda of Lukewarm Dishwater. No, it’s not that his personal endorsement means squat. Rather, Obama actually would benefit from a Rightist takeover of at least one chamber of Congress. For his legacy and re-election. Tuesday’s results offer a chance that Democrats might muddle through with less carnage. [...]
Open Thread – Natural Disaster Summer Of Fear Edition (JWB Theme Loop Update)

Plus, the upcoming hurricanes make for easy TV. A more pervasive fear adds to tension. Only in August 2011 did the Imperial City Nomenklatura learn they are [...]

jwb,
9/16 = unemployment rates
Must be a subtext here that I’m missing, since I don’t understand the “9% (really 16%)” qualifier. If this was, as the mouse-over indicates, a survey of 275 WH staffers, what the survey mostly tells me is that the WH is not a happy ship at the moment. Speaking of opinion polls, I also found this poll result most depressing: “Looking ahead for the next few years, which political party do you think will do a better job of keeping the country prosperous: the Republican Party or the Democratic Party?” 48-39 in favor of Republicans, virtually unchanged from last year (results here: http://www.pollingreport.com/institut2.htm).
