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

Martin Walker, the gifted former Washington correspondent of The Guardian, used to start his speeches saying that the Fourth of July wasn’t a time for sorrow for him, as it was a time when good British yeomen farmers in the colonies revolted against a German king and his German mercenaries. Walker — who now lives […]

An Electric Revolution Is Underway, but Revolutions Are Messy

An Electric Revolution Is Underway, but Revolutions Are Messy

Llewellyn King

This, the 21st century, is set to be the electric century. We are in the middle of a profound electrification binge that is going to leave its mark, an electrical mark, on every aspect of human endeavor. I believed this before I attended the Edison Electric Institute annual meeting and convention in Orlando. Now I think […]

It Is the New Age of Creativity, Despite Shortages and Runaway Inflation

It Is the New Age of Creativity, Despite Shortages and Runaway Inflation

Llewellyn King

You could be excused for believing that everything is going to hell. We are living through a tumultuous time, and the next two years are going to be especially difficult with severe disruption to supply chains, runaway inflation and, worst of all, food shortages in much of the world. But it also may be a […]

Prepare for Blackouts Across the U.S. as Summer Takes Hold

Prepare for Blackouts Across the U.S. as Summer Takes Hold

Llewellyn King

Just when it didn’t seem things couldn’t get worse — gasoline at $5 to $8 a gallon, supply shortages in everything from baby formula to new cars — comes the devastating news that many of us will endure electricity blackouts this summer. The alarm was sounded by the nonprofit North American Electric Reliability Corp. and […]
