Barometer: Heatwave Edition

August 7, 2007 by White House Chronicle


Tom Tancredo: Bomb Mots

He would deter Islamic militants’ nuclear attacks on the United States by threatening to bomb Mecca and Medina. Mexicans should start practicing duck-and-cover. Foul/Falling

Joe Biden: Talking Guy

Good new book, but what a title to frighten away the punters. Also Joe knows he talks too much, but he can’t shut up. Something to do with his childhood stutter? Rain/Cloudy

Barack Obama: Treading Water

He’s in the foreign policy deep-end, and Hillary Clinton is trying to push him under. Don’t worry, Barack, she’s the one who voted for the war. Obama wins on points. Fair/Rising

John Edwards: Our Crowd

Poor little rich boy is trying to be a populist. But he’s not gotten through to the minimum-wage crowd. They suspect a trick. Only his hairdresser knows for sure. Rain/Cloudy

Rudy Giuliani: Magic Date

Did you know he was mayor of New York City on 9/11? If you didn’t know, he was mayor of NYC on 9/11, you should know he was on deck on 9/11. Let the angels sing: “Giuliani was mayor of The Big Bagel on 9/11.” Sing we now. Foul/Falling

Mitt Romney: Moving Target

Mitt has flipped to please the base, and the base hasn’t responded. All that Massachusetts liberalism leaves it mark. Rain/Cloudy

Already, robots weld, bolt and paint cars and trucks. The factory of the future will have very few human […]

The Billionaires Will Rule Down Through the Generations

The Billionaires Will Rule Down Through the Generations

Llewellyn King

Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book “Careless People” takes aim at Facebook (parent company Meta) and tells a tale of its potentate, Mark Zuckerberg, as a man who is sought after by the great and the powerful and who lacks social consciousness or real interest in anything beyond himself and his company. Wynn-Williams is the New Zealander who […]

‘Whacking the Cut’: A Different View of the BBC Crisis

‘Whacking the Cut’: A Different View of the BBC Crisis

Llewellyn King

The BBC has fallen on its sword. The director general has resigned and so has the head of news over the splicing of tape of President Donald Trump’s rambling speech on Jan. 6, 2021, which preceded the sacking of the Capitol. The editor and the technician who did the deed for the esteemed BBC program […]

It Isn’t the Stress That Gets To Air Traffic Controllers

It Isn’t the Stress That Gets To Air Traffic Controllers

Llewellyn King

If you don’t know about the stress air traffic controllers are reportedly under, then maybe you are an air traffic controller. The fact is that air traffic controllers love what they do — love it and wouldn’t do anything else. The stress comes with long hours, Federal Aviation Administration bureaucracy and a general lack of […]
