Barometer: The Long Hot Summer of Discontent

July 22, 2007 by White House Chronicle


George W. Bush: Up Is Down

The National Intelligence Estimate says that the risk of al-Qaeda attacks is up, but Bush says it’s down. But then he still thinks that invading Iraq and sitting on his hands in the Middle East for six years was policy. You can go sunbathing in the dark too. Foul/Falling

Dick Cheney: Hours Of Power

Cheney cooked up the Iraq war, and it’s been a disaster. For two hours on Saturday, when Bush was under the knife, the veep could’ve concocted a war with Iran. No word on whether he ordered up some torture. Foul/Falling

John McCain: Last Campaign

Better loved our war hero cannot be, except by the Republican base. He’s for the war, OK. And he’s for legalizing immigrants and campaign finance reform, not OK. Better the dress-wearing, divorce-prone, gay-loving Rudy Giuliani. Foul/Falling

Hillary Clinton: Cold Case

The rap on George W. Bush is too much secrecy. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Nobody is more secretive than Hillary. She snows the press, but she can’t project warmth. Show her, Bill. Rain/Cloudy

Jim Gilmore: Silent Exit

He’s carried himself back to Old Virginny. Was he ever in the race? Why did one of Virgina’s many non-entity governors think he should be president? All he ever did was cut a car tax. Foul/Falling

Does the Queen Have a Fondness for Trump?

Llewellyn King

LONDON — I have a secret. I can’t verify it, but I can share it. It’s this: I think Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II likes President Donald Trump. Honestly, I’ve been studying video of them together and despite what the press here thinks, I believe she likes him. She’s amused by him. Poor woman, she […]

The Energy Executive and the Homeless: Sleeping on Concrete

The Energy Executive and the Homeless: Sleeping on Concrete

Llewellyn King

The British call it sleeping rough. We call it for what it is: homelessness. It starts the day when all the support systems — fragile as they often are — fail. When there is no home to go to; no bed to sleep in, no meal to eat, no toilet to use, no place to […]

Santa’s Gift to the Democrats — Will They Break It While Opening It?

Santa’s Gift to the Democrats — Will They Break It While Opening It?

Llewellyn King

The Democrats have no need to fret about what they’ll get for Christmas this year. Their worry shouldn’t be the gift, but rather how they choose to open it. The gift is global warming. Don’t call it climate change; that fuzzies the issue. Call it for what it is: global warming. It isn’t change but […]

How to Attack Cancer, Other Things With Data Mining

Llewellyn King

The word is exaptation. It will change the future, and it may save your life. It is a word traditionally used in evolutionary biology. But now in scientific and high-tech circles, it is used to describe finding and adapting processes and compounds to uses for which they were not originally intended. In biology, exaptation is […]
