freefall george.
officious white house gift shop.
indiana isn't the place for (premarital) pleasure.

everybody is weighing in on ms meier's letters to mr bush. comical. one blog likened it to "the ugly girl fawning over the popular highschool quarterback." ouch.
supply-side economics. i'm no economist, but the whole supply-side thing kinda bugs. "a poor man never hired me". true. but is it only the wealthy who own companies? is the only economic development we want one of the wealthy supplying jobs? what of middle class entrepaneurship? what of the spending power of the middle class? cut taxes on the poor and middle class and watch them spend spend spend! the storm unmasked poverty, so let's cut social programs. the conservatives contend that those programs weren't working. but then to not even pay prevailing wage on the reconstruction? while awarding no bid contracts? it's absurd! the attitude is that the poor will do nothing to stimulate the economy (never mind that they ARE the economy) so don't bother giving them a wage. just use them to rebuild the infastructure. economics is complicated; but you wouldn't know it from the republicans. just cut taxes. on the rich. only tax cuts for the rich will do the job. never mind the poor.

Berenson, an associate White House counsel in Bush's first term. "The president is very, very confident in his judgments about people, and he likes to reward loyalty."the strategy of nominating roberts was obvious and shrewed. this nomination? i have no idea. but fanatic dobson does.
