He says the thing about visionaries like Al Gore is that they don’t imagine what’s easy. They imagine the benefits to be reaped once all the obstacles are overcome.

It was certainly that way with the Internet, which had been around for 20 years when Gore pushed for national funding for it. And, it will be that way, when we implement the Pickens plan and start getting all of our electric energy from windmills. There’s much to be said for benefits-driven planning. ;-)

Cokie is now telling us “…in Michigan McCain is doing rather well.” I’m not making this up, you know…

Cokie Roberts is just telling us, about Obama’s trip, “it’s all about the pictures.” “Is there anything concrete?” the talking hairdo asks. Cokie can find nothing but risk. “If he changes, he has a problem, if he doesn’t change he hasn’t listened to the commanders on the ground.” Kee-ripes…

I read the same thing somewhere. I remember getting a frisson of unease at the time.

Someone, somewhere had a diary/article saying that the plan is for McCain to announce in August that he was stepping down for health reasons. It may not be McCain’s plan but rather our veep’s. And you know how persuasive our veep can be.
(the veep part is my theory. All the original diary/article said was that McCain wouldn’t make it to the convention)

Yesterday at 10:30 in the morning, I went to see “Mamma Mia”. If you can attend a movie without a critic’s eye, you’ll be rewarded by having just plain old fashion fun. A. O. Scott from the NYTimes said it was like ordering a fruity drink with an umbrella and the next morning waking up with a head ache. The fruity drink part I can understand, the head ache part, no. I want to see it again. Escapism isn’t necessarily bad.

Marion, Thanks for updating us everyday. The muffins sound great, but now it’s time for my banana and yogurt.

What a creepy conjecture… If it’s Romney no doubt he’ll be able to take care of that pesky economy with no trouble at all. Isn’t he supposed to be the genius businessman? I’m probably going to have nightmares for a week now.

Josh also has an article about Bush moving toward Obama’s position on Iraq (troop withdrawl), Afghanistan (troop increase) and Iran (talks).
My theory is that they realize that if they hope to get the election close enough to steal then the repubs needed to change their rhetoric in those areas.
Then, McCain is going to step down, Romney will get the nomination and Diebold will do the rest.
Now, they just have to figure out what to do with this pesky economy.
