Monday Morning Speculating.

or, Step Away from the Candy ...


Which was better costume last Friday?

Eeyore as Chicken Little:

So if the elections go as expected next week, here’s my advice: Be afraid. Be very afraid.

The sky is falling. We're doomed!

or

David Brooks as (a Rovian, in this edit) Rahm?

Second, Obama needs to redefine his identity.
...
Over the next two years, Obama will have to show that he is a traditionalist on social matters and a center-left pragmatist on political ones. Culturally, he will have to demonstrate that even though he comes from an unusual background, he is a fervent believer in the old-fashioned bourgeois virtues: order, self-discipline, punctuality* and personal responsibility.

Sorry, it's 9am Monday here, and I got ... nothing. :-) Nothing fresh anyway, but wishes to all of you for a good beginning to these darker days.

Happy day, reader!



* Wait a minute... "Show up on time, and get a makeover?" and pander on the social issues** even though they've rightly been shoved aside as a trivial election issue-divider in our times of greater need?


And I thought I had nothing contributory to write about today...



** Umm... No.
