Viva Triangulation!

16th November 2007

Mickey Kaus is one of those rare people, a liberal with interesting ideas.

Some problems are loaf-splitting problems–funding for the arts, maybe, or roads. They’re easy to solve. But I’d argue that precisely because they’re easy to solve most of them have been solved already. The problems we’re left with are problems where one side or the other is willing to fight to the death to protect a core demand that must be denied to achieve a solution.

Busting a Budget Ploy

12th November 2007

Read it. Sometimes the system works.

The Democratic scheme to present President George W. Bush with a bill that he could not veto seemed a clever strategy, but it was based on presumption of Republican ignorance and cowardice.
