David Sanger had a cigarette, after, then wrote this:

.... the last 16 months of Mr. Bush’s presidency ...

I'll just hang myself now, then, shall I?

Of course, that is taking it for granted that the Republicans allow the elections to take place.

The tasty line

was where Sanger wrote that the sum achievement of the last several months is "a tactical political victory for Mr. Bush" which is all that matters, other people's life and limb and treasure and anything meaningful to anyone else, not so much.

Sanger should take some Valtrex with that ciggie.

Well, Inside Baseball is awsum

so of course that's what Sanger chatters about.

Any more tactical victories like this, and we are undone.

Or, to update and invert the metaphor, you can stick a fork in us.

I've said it before..

Hurl dumptruck-loads full of mud and slime, cut off any 'dangerous' candidates from money and media, hack the voting machines? Sure. But the Powers That Be will only out-and-out cancel the elections if they are totally desperate.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

Acronym. Modern Monetary Theory. Key takeaway: Since the United States is sovereign in its own currency, Federal spending is not operationally constrained by revenues (unlike non-sovereign households, non-sovereign states that use Federal dollars, like CA, or countries, like Greece, that use the Euro).
