Trump really is a generational political talent. He might single-handedly resurrect moribund center-left parties around the world if he keeps making "endorsements." Mark Carney has the charisma and energy of the Treasurer of the second-biggest professional association of funeral home directors in Indiana and Donald Trump singlehandedly made him look like Che.
No one else in the history of politics could come close to pulling that off. We are witnessing a legend in his decrepit prime. ...
Can someone who is good at Economy tell me if this is good. It seems really good. I bet it's good. ...

I was surprised to see the Cardinals selected Walter Nolen from Ole Miss but despite it being an unorthodox choice I think we should give him a chance to see what kind of Pope he can be. ...
Trump is tanking with younger men who expressed support for him 5 months ago because it's dawning on them that it's not very valuable to know you can say slurs without getting fired if you don't have a job. ...

Oh, great–here we go: another negative nancy in the blogopsphere, focusing only on the *collateral* damage and completely ignoring the countless ways in which Iraq is a progressively happier and more stable place than it was before the surge. Well, personally, I don't know where you get your facts, Ed, but I hear all I need to from a certain Op-Ed columnist on the NY Times page, a Mr. William Kristol–perhaps you've heard of him? And *he* says that in Iraq things are swell, democracy is flourishing, people walk well-lit streets in safety, and the children regularly s*** rainbows. So excuse me for preferring to focus on the positive, rather than on the factual.

Does Bush really think people are stupid enough to believe something like a surge and "David Betray-Us" is going to work at this point, and it is anything but a distraction?!? I think the most pathetic part of the cons and Bush are they've flat out run out of excuses and distractions for Iraq. Iraq is Vietnam: the Sequel Accomplished! Congrats Bush!
When you've occupied a country for 5+ years, spent half a trillion dollars on a war, and have absolutely no idea what is going on there or why you are even there anymore, I think you can chalk this up to a complete and utter failure. I think I am most amazed that America is in another Vietnam situation. I thought this would never happen again and most people would be sick to their stomach at the possibility, but here we are. Hope things change after the 2008 election.
