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

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 […]

Can AI Clean Its Own House? There Are Signs It Can

Can AI Clean Its Own House? There Are Signs It Can

Llewellyn King

For me, the big news isn’t the politics of the moment, the deliberations before the Supreme Court or even the news of the battlefront in Ukraine. No, it is a rather modest, careful announcement by Anthropic, the developer of the Claude suite of chatbots. Anthropic, almost sotto voce, announced it had detected introspection in their […]

A Reminder of Kings and Emperors To Rise at the White House

A Reminder of Kings and Emperors To Rise at the White House

Llewellyn King

President Donald Trump is building what will become one of the greatest snow-colored pachyderms in the history of the United States. Some of the nation’s biggest tycoons are going to pay for this ballroom, which will look like the box that the rest of the White House came in — a statement often made about […]

The Age of Dichotomy Is Tearing Up America

The Age of Dichotomy Is Tearing Up America

Llewellyn King

We live in an age of dichotomy. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. We have more means of communication, but there is a pandemic of loneliness. We have unprecedented access to information, but we seem to know less, from civics to the history of the country. We are beginning to […]
