I Suspect… …that if true this will make many Angry Bear readers happy. AB
Numbers One Through Five Notwithstanding the title, these are not really ordered, except that I made some effort to put the “least worst” at the end of the list (don’t worry, George W. slipped in near the end). I did not parse it more finely than that–I leave it to you to decide, e.g., if […]
The Votes Are In A while back, John Hawkins of RightWingNews.com (which is actually a fairly readable Righty site–the Dean posts are hilarious, what Joe Lieberman might write if he had a sense of humor) took a poll of who fellow conservative bloggers thought were the worst figures in American history, leading to the conservative’s […]
That Didn’t Take Long Not three hours have passed since I wrote about some fool in Wahington (state) getting taken to the cleaners, and taking his church’s and friends’ money with him, and now I get this: EMAIL: gf11an@XXXXXX@ZZZ FAX: 130XXXXXXXX HELLO I want you to patiently read this my offer and make up your […]

I’ve Been Busy… …Partly due to the day job and partly due to all the Red/Blue posts. As a result, I’m now catching up on all my blog reading. Here are the highlights: Sadly, No brings us the new Reservoir Dogs. The Daily Howler readily demonstrates that Fred Barnes is a giant, comical, tool. Rice […]
Re-Wrap I know I said I was done, but then I thought it would be interesting to have all four maps (the vote; income levels; housing appreciation; and lights from space) in a single four-paneled page. AB
Red and Blue Wrap Up First, Sincere thanks to James Galbraith and The University of Texas Inequality Project (be sure to check it out) for all the maps and analysis. Galbraith ran some more numbers, this time relating income levels to votes for Bush and Gore. The Theil Score is an index that give the […]
