we have a long march ahead.
The gops have been accusing us dems of enjoying bad news--e.g., apparently we are hoping that the war in Iraq will go badly and lots of innocent people will suffer, because that's the only way our candidate can beat theirs. As usual, the gops have got our number. Savvy, perceptive people, those gops. So, in furtherance of the soaring ambitions of gops nationwide I am hereby noting:
8th straight month of economic decline
6% unemployment rate
Am I pleased that this is the lead news story 24 hours after the close of the gop convention? Yes. Yes I am.
Also, has anyone noticed that McCain's brilliant health-insurance solution is to TAX EMPLOYER-PAID INSURANCE AS INCOME? Yes, the reasons not to go back to freelancing are shrinking rapidly.
