TCS: Tech Central Station - Economic Illiteracy Quadrifecta
TCS: Tech Central Station - Economic Illiteracy Quadrifecta has one of the best quotes about Kerry and his lack of familiarity with the truth, "I know a number of liberal economists, and they say that there is no reason to worry about Senator Kerry. The backchannel buzz, which occasionally has leaked onto blogs and into the press, is that Kerry's economic advisers, and even Kerry himself, differ from his public pronouncements. The secret whisperers are telling us, in effect, that the economically literate can trust John Kerry because we know that he is lying."

The beginning of the end for global warning? Let's hope so. But it all starts not with the end of the globe warming but with the failure of the studies declaring that the globe is warming. Got that?

This is the type of article that makes history fun: looking for parallels to try to predict the future. A very humbling experience in most attempts.

Competing visions between Bush and Kerry are more fundamental than many nationally would acknowledge. Glassman is on target.

Election in House of Representatives
My quick study of the 2003-2004 session of Congress indicates that Republicans control 30 of 50 House delegations now. Democrats control 17. The remaining 4 according to the current session are split between Democrats and Republicans. With the Texas redistricting, its split delegation will probably head Republican.
The significance of this is that members of the House do not vote for president in the case of deadlock Electoral College, state delegations do. The majority party within that delegation controls the vote. Here is how I see it:
Projection of likely winner if presidential election thrown to house of representatives
State # Rep # Dem Delegation vote
1. Alabama 5 2 R
2. Alaska 1 0 R
3. Arizona 6 2 R
4. Arkansas 1 3 D
5. California 20 33 D
6. Colorado 5 2 R

49. Wis. 4 4 -
50. Wyoming 1 0 R
Totals 227 205 30Rep.-17Dem. - 4 Even
This is subject to drastic changes because only the newly elected representatives would vote. However, little change in membership occurs year-to-year, so this is reasonably predictive for a vote on or about 1/3/05.

This webpage has what I wanted to do: a picture of John Kerry's tan next to a Loompa from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." It even has a nice rendition of the song.
