    Hola, CT.

    Isn’t it ironic that my birth Territory was brought into the Union as a State in 1960 as a Republican stronghold to counterbalance radically liberal Alaska?

    I hope all is going well in Hilo town.

    Actually, there is another reason the GO(T)P hate Clinton. He took all the nonsense they spewed in my lifetime about how government should operate and made it work. Granted, he was in the right place at the right time for it to work, but neither St. Ronnie of Raygun nor Silver Foot Bush could make [...]

    Those are pretty much my feeling as well.

    I was talking with a colleague today about retirement — we both pretty much feel like if Mittens is elected, our joke about working until they pry the chalk from our hand is no longer a joke.

    The hard lefties seem to view the choice as between a slow decline into plutocratic oligarchy under Obama or a jump off the cliff into plutocratic oligarchy under Rmoney.

    With Obama saying stuff like he’s ready to make Alice Rivlin’s Grand Bargain if re-elected I can’t argue they’re wrong.

    I wonder if she’s hoping Mittens remembers her secret name…

    You’ve got to have a soul to sell before Mephistopheles can make a purchase.

    Kind of like the Weird Al does Enya suggestion: there has to be something to parody before Al can do a parody.

    So, I can’t bear to listen to the R liebesmahl, even with Rachel to relieve the neuronal constipation.

    How did Marie Anne-toinette do tonight?

    Gallup’s reweighting model is seriously flawed, and the flaws have moved their house effect from a small R bias to a very large R bias.

    The source of Gallup’s bias appears to be in the way they have used the 2010 Census results together with faulty estimates of cell-phone penetration.

    It would be the ultimate irony if the Corporate descendents of the man who killed The Literary Digest( and in the process established modern political polling) were themselves done in by an epic fail in a presidential election.

    Welcome to postmodern politics. Jacques Derrida checked out of this madhouse too early and missed it.

    Thanks, all for the condolences.

    Mrs. Dr. BCT says it’s a sign from the world that I need to fold my tent here and move to oHIo. I’m inclined to agree. I’m tempted to sell my power woodworking tools, because I don’t know if I have the heart to gather another collection of tools.

    Have you heard the schtick (I forget which Brit comedienne did it) that starts with Das Rheingold and she works all the way through the Ring cycle, and points out that 16 hours later we are exactly where we started…

    Thanks. I got back from oHIo a week ago Saturday about 11 PM and discovered
    (1) the gate into the backyard was standing open; (ruh-roh)
    (2) the side door from the backyard into the garage was also standing open; (oh, chit!)
    (3) there were lights on that were not on timers.

    It only took the cops 35 minutes to get there. The thieves had tossed the house. They got all my hand tools, all my portable power tools, two computers, three televisions and two DVD players… and the list goes on.
