Armed and dangerous
Democrats had better assume that team Bush will do anything to win. For this White House, abuse of power isn't just a tactic, it's an identity.

Length matters
While pundits sugarcoat the economy, the real issue is simple: Too many people have been out of work for too long.

Squeezing workers
The latest economic numbers are hard to be optimistic about, especially since the Bush administration's solutions are likely to further increase corporate profits, not jobs and wages.

The rich got richer
The Reagan economy was mediocre, and his economists' ideas were a muddle.

The man who stayed too long
Don't believe the headline writers -- higher interest rates won't beat inflation. But Alan Greenspan's successor might.

Fidel, the fall guy
An article in the Atlantic rashly speculates that Fidel Castro was behind the assassination of JFK -- and ignores the allegations that the Mafia, the military and the CIA were involved.

Bush’s Hail Mary
The only events that have (temporarily) stopped the constant erosion of Bush's popularity have been 9/11, the Iraq war and the capture of Saddam. He'd better hope he finds Osama in October.
