A couple of weeks ago, Tom Blumer wrote at Pajamas, " Very Different Economic Times in Red vs. Blue States "; certainly the very blue "parentheses states", as Tom Wolfe described them, have been having a tough time making a go of it, as these two headlines on the Drudge Report indicate:
SCHWARZENEGGER: CALIFORNIA MAY NEED EMERGENCY LOAN ...
New York Deficit Swells ...
Or as a recent City Journal article put it, " Houston, New York Has a Problem ."
Meanwhile, Jennifer Rubin asks, " What’s The Matter With Harry ?"One of the more curious -- but not unprecedented -- incidents in the last couple of weeks involved Harry Reid. The Wall Street Journal explains: Just as U.S. credit markets this week were close to the edge of the cliff, threatening capital-starved businesses large and small, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stepped in front of reporters and offhandedly announced:

It is one thing to want conciliation; it is an entirely other to claim it, after eating a big slice of humble pie. Senator Harry Reid announced on Tuesday that it was time to move forward and get back to work, after his failed attempt to humiliate Senator Joe Lieberman for exercising his freedom of speech. Reid bravely told his own story, involving a valiant effort to lock away and hide his anger — which he wasn’t that successful at doing. The entire reason the Lieberman witch-hun... more
Apparently in order to cover for the lack of Democratic votes in favor of bailing out the UAW, Nancy Pelosi requested a plan from the Big 3 before Congress gives them money for failing. In Pelosi’s words, ” Until they show us the plan, we can not show them the money” Isn’t that cute, a play on the old Wendy’s commercial with the grandmothers’ requesting proof of the beef prior to making the purchase.
A quick check on the background of Nancy Pelosi and H... more

After 9/11–particularly after the anthrax attacks–there was quite a bit of chatter about the danger “bioterrorism” posed to the United States. The gist of it was this: the United States doesn’t have a public health apparatus integrated or organized enough to adequately deal with a large-scale bioterrorism attack. And since any such attack was likely to involve a virulent disease like smallpox, the consequences of our relative lack preparedness could be devastating... more

Victor Davis Hanson finds Strange New Respect for Hillary Clinton, but notes the poison pill she’s planted to wind down her her campaign: Her bizarre offer to serve as VP, contrary to popular opinion, was a brilliant (if Byzantine) political move: she knows that she has earned the slot but that the Obamas don’t want her "dream ticket"; so now the onus is on them if they reject her "generous" and most logical offer, and only blame will follow if the Democrats stumble in the... more
Kathleen Parker has a sense of deja vu:I was reading Jeffrey Toobin’s New Yorker profile of political spinmeister Roger Stone and thinking, hmmmmm. Where have I read this before? And then I remembered. Matt Labash wrote a very long profile of the very same Roger Stone for The Weekly Standard last November and a follow up in January of this year. I dug up the profile to check my memory and remembered why I remembered it. The profile was mentioned everywhere, including David Brooks’s year-end... more
