Call It A Comeback
The Note has an interesting exchange about the FEC and Campaign Finance Reform. Congress may win in the end, but clearly this is a case where Presidential influence in bureaucratic decision-making is dominant. Calling McNollgast and Moe.
Politically, this creates a problem for Bush. Pissing off McCain only has a downside.
If there is going to be an opening for Democrats in rural areas, hog farms will be that opening. Vilsack might have to ride that one to win in Iowa. Blago should be paying attention, especially due to the close ties of the former IEPA director and her brother, the operator of a commecial hog lot.
Why Skinner should be allowed in the debate. He is hysterical and this race is quickly becoming boring. Of course this could be related to this comment by McQueary regarding decadent baked goods….
Steve Neal must have been desperate for a topic today. Stroger is going to win a third term! Wow–news at 11.
I’m pretty sure Madigan used his staff unethically, but I doubt he was as stupid as Lee Daniels. The intent is clear, but he probably met the letter of the law.
Chicago has gone wacky. Most cities fight over building a new stadium. Chicago fights over night games, a minor improvement on the current stadium and whether people can steal the product of the Tribune Corporation.
The Freepers haven’t let me down. One of the more amusing comments claims our cars cost 10 times as much and our air conditioners don’t work as well. The first claim is absurd and the second is empirically false–they actually work better, though that has little to do with CFCs being banned.
Will Cal Thomas or Mona Charen make my prediction come true for the major media? I’m betting so….
I’ve been rooting for McBride for some time. Right after Pete Peterson said he wouldn’t make the race after the terrorist attacks a year ago and McBride got in, I thought he would be a good candidate. However, it appears that I might have my cake and eat it too.
Oh, Jeb is running a commercial bragging that he got a stop light placed near a high school. Admittedly, the US political system focuses on casework, but one of the Big 4 governors thinks that is going to get him votes?
I’m sure some out there wonder why I think Sully is worth anything, but a good laugh. I think this post shows why. When he can get himself out of a constant lather, he can have some insightful comments about religion and society.
Unfortunately, such insightfullness is displayed by him less and less.
Part of the problem with reporting on the Middle East is it is too damn simplistic. 20 years ago yesterday were the massacres at Sabra and Shatila.
