I think the key issue on the reversal of the FISA vote/Obama is that the telecoms are massively underwriting the presidential nominating conventions.

While the campaigns are under strict guidelines for fund raising, the conventions are not operating under those funding rules. So the telecoms were solicited by (among others) Jello Jay for tens of million$. Obama got the message. He had to play the game.

“Mr. McCain’s initial reaction was not encouraging. “What do you want, you little jerks?” he asked, using what his staff members say is a term of endearment.”

So just to be clear, when I say that Krusty McLame is a pastey-assed senile old fart it’s actually a term of endearment.

Do you think that TDS has a different audience, ie. purview than the New Yorker? I’ve always had a slight problem with Ivory Tower Anybodys. You would thing that it would be easier to see the Big Picture from such a lofty view, but it doesn’t work that way I think. Can’t see the cockroaches scurrying around down at the bottom.
Or something.
And, how do you see West Coast satire as being different from East Coast. Is there a difference. Just wondering.
