Ashcroft Explained!
For an publication based in University City, the River Front Times is an especially poorly named publication. But they have discovered the secret to John Ashcroft.

Where is Southwest? Why is
Where is Southwest?
Why is it that Southwest isn’t asking for a bailout from the federal government as some of the bigger carriers are doing? Oh, they are profitable. Additionally, they don’t use hub systems. At some point airlines need to be allowed to fail. The current structure is obviously not profitable for many airlines. It is time to let airlines survive on their own merits.

Help Wanted: Food Taster to protect against fundamentalists
Lincoln Chafee needs a food taster according to John Breaux. Actually, the Rs can’t lose him. If they did, Rhode Island elects a Dem in his place. They ought to have learned to treat him with kid gloves given his threats to defect. You don’t see any spanking Zell around do you?
The compromise seems reasonable with limitations on union protections being primarily served in areas critical to intelligence or other security issue.
The ultimate solution is to install effective oversight. Regardless of the procedures, appropriate documentation solves the problem.

The problem with France
Or perhaps the many, many problems with France are well discussed by Fareed Zakaria. I think this is good companion to my comments on the usefulness of the Security Council and the UN to the United States.

How to avoid the mistakes
How to avoid the mistakes of your father and find entirely new ways to screw-up
Learning from other people’s mistakes usually means one looks at the mistake, analyze what went wrong and then adjust behavior accordingly. Instead of doing this as a deliberate process, one could also choose to do the oppositve of the previous action and hope. It seems to me that this is what David Broder is describing. He discusses it as a radical departure from the recent past for Republicans. I see it as avenging Daddy without much thought as to the consequences.
Hack Attack Dick Morris says
Hack Attack
Dick Morris says polling is now unreliable. Actually, it is Dick Morris who is unreliable. Polling is more challenging now than in the past, but Zogby has overcome this by taking care in getting a random, but representative sample. Other pollsters still fall within the margin of error so the whining is, as usual for Morris, what is unreliable. Likely voter models have always created divergence and now we are simply adding another layer of checks to ensure validity. Other pollsters are already following Zogby’s lead.
