Barometer: Special Summer Sale–20 Percent Off All Politicos

July 5, 2007 by White House Chronicle


 


George W. Bush: Special Case

Who would’ve thought the president had such a kind heart? He let Scooter Libby walk. Pity about all the other clemency cases. But they’re not Cheney cronies. Foul/Falling

Dick Cheney: Resting Easy

Sleep well, Dick. Scooter is ruined, but he’s not going to jail. Now push George for a full pardon, and Scooter is back in business—on K Street. What are friends for? Foul/Falling

Fred Thompson: Heatstroke

Those lazy, hazy days of summer—just the time for a lazy, hazy candidate. Such a big country, so much talent, and Fred is the front-runner. Ah, the sweet mystery of B movies. Rain/Cloudy

Harry Reid: Nevada Dealer

Harry can’t hold the Democrats together, but he can keep nuclear waste out of Nevada. Harry is an unlikely front man for the casinos, but he sure keeps them winning. Fair/Rising

Hillary Clinton: Girl Interrupted

What’s a girl to do? Barack gets the money and Bill gets the crowds. Makes you wonder about democracy, doesn’t it? An unknown senator and a cheating husband get raves, and Hillary gets negatives. Rain/Cloudy

Gordon Brown: Health Threat

He knew that he’d have trouble with the U.K. health service. But he didn’t know that some of the doctors were terrorists. See what you get with socialized medicine? Rain/Cloudy

Llewellyn King

There is a lot of chat about the future of work: Will we do it at home, or will we revert to commuting to the old traditional workplace? But there is an additional, different question: What will we wear? Go to the mirror and look at yourself. Except for the odd Zoom meeting you might […]

Texas Today, Who and Where Tomorrow? Action Needed

Texas Today, Who and Where Tomorrow? Action Needed

Llewellyn King

The horror of the Texas electricity catastrophe should chill the whole country. Nothing strikes at the survivability of a modern society more than the failure of its power supply, maybe nothing at all. When the power supply fails, the failure of human life is not far behind. Yet, at a time when we should expect […]

Edison’s Birthday Is a Busy Time for His Follow-on Inventors

Edison’s Birthday Is a Busy Time for His Follow-on Inventors

Llewellyn King

The electric utility industry looks a bit like a man on a ladder with one foot seeking the rung below, unsure of where it is. But find it he must. The industry is beset with technological change as well as social and political pressures. It isn’t in crisis, but it is in dramatic transition. It […]

Social Media and the Mob Factor

Social Media and the Mob Factor

Llewellyn King

Social media has an unimagined, unequaled, uncontrollable, and unpredictable ability to mobilize groups of people for antisocial action; to take a sliver of society and turn it into a mob. Last month this new force in society was on display, from mobilizing anti-vaxxers in Los Angeles to the U.S. Capitol riot, resulting in five deaths, […]
