MATTHEWS: Let me give you a scene that may face you in the next year or two, where the national security adviser calls you at 3:00 in the morning and tells that you a couple of jet — commercial jets have been hijacked. And they believe it is al Qaeda. And, as we know, al Qaeda always tries a second time. They tried for the World Trade Center after ‘93. They came back in ‘01. They’re heading for the Capitol. What do you do?
OBAMA: Well, look, I am hesitant to engage in hypotheticals like that, because…
MATTHEWS: But it has been predictable.
OBAMA: Oh, well, the — I don’t think anybody predicted 9/11. And, so, we don’t know what kinds of circumstances are going to come up.
Oh, no, BO! Please say it you didn't mean that!

McCain proposal calls for higher down payments on homes
George Will is today praising McCain's "policy minimalism."
McCain's only solecism is his loopy idea that mortgage lenders should make a "response" that is "similar" to General Motors' policy of interest-free financing immediately after Sept. 11. Patting himself on the back, as is his wont, McCain said he is too honorable to "play election-year politics" or "allow dogma to override common sense." Then he cast this issue as he casts too many issues, as a matter of patriotism, saying of lenders: "They've been asking the government to help them out. I'm now calling on them to help their customers and their nation out."
McCain's so dreamy ...

You know, we didn't put anything down on the house. We got the previous owner to pay all of our closing and put new windows on. We were at an advantage in the sense he'd already left the state and was getting anxious to get rid of the place.

McCain practices the politics of honor: He thinks that whatever his instincts tell him is honorable must be so and that those who think otherwise are dishonorable. This makes him difficult to deal with but does no other harm, as long as it is kept separate from governing.

For hundreds of homeowners in this mostly middle-class corner of Denver — and an estimated 1.2 million more nationwide — the wave of foreclosures battering U.S. financial markets is quickly unraveling the American dream.
I always thought the American dream was to stockpile as many weapons as possible.
I suppose the house thing is necessary, though, if only to prevent rust.

Unless municipalities are prepared to take elaborate and sustained measures, some of these neighborhoods are going to be destroyed.
And a lot of municipalities are running out of money because they rely on property taxes, and valuations are going into the shitter as expenses rise. The city manager of Portland Maine just announce plans to lay off 98 employees, including eliminating some department heads.
Twenty-seven of the 98 jobs are vacant, and 22 of them would be replaced by grant-funded positions, resulting in a total reduction of 76 jobs in the budget that would take effect on July 1. That's 5.3 percent of the city's 1,400 workers.

The waterfront and transportation director is being let go just when big changes are taking place on the waterfront. I really blanch when I think of what may be coming since the Federal Government seems only to care about bailing out the wealthy and State and local governments fail to pick up the slack in real public expenditures.

____________________________
Pardon my distressing cynicism, but they're not. The municipalities, that is. They're OK at dipsy-doodling around and stumbling backwards into allowing casinos to be built with minimal consideration for local residents; they're good at banning trans-fats; they don't miss a trick when it comes to including themselves in an early retirement incentive program intended to reduce payroll in city agencies through attrition.
But formulating elaborate and sustained measures to preserve non upper-class neighborhoods just isn't on any more.
Now we do things New Orleans style. They'll just have to wave in the buzzards and jackals who are still surviving, even prospering, in these troubled economic times, to work their depredations... er, I meant "magic".
And some fix favoring business investment and interests will be instituted that leaves neighborhood residents twisting in the wind. Maybe they'll level the neighborhoods and build mega-casinos with plenty of klass, parking, and retail space to boot.
And as Adam Smith once said, let the Devil take the hindmost.

Jeremy Waldron has a great piece in the latest LRB reviewing a recent book by Cass Sunstein. He has a nice discussion of the Cheney doctrine that even a one-percent probability of a catastrophic event should be treated as a certainty for policy purposes, where the class of catastrophic events is limited to those with a military, security or terrorist dimension.
Waldron is also pretty acid about Sunstein’s treatment of global warming and distributive justice, noting some of the shortcomings of the idea that poor people’s lives should be valued according to what they’re prepared to pay to avoid the risk of death.

Funny you should mention that. Over at Calculated Risk, they're reviewing Congressional testimony from the S&L crisis:
That will happen, not might happen but will happen, and when it does these too-big-to-fail banks will have to be propped up with Federal money. In the smoking aftermath, Congress can stand around and wring its hands and give speeches about how awful it is that these bankers violated the spirit of the law, but once again, the money will be gone, the bill will have come due, and taxpayers will again be required to cough it up.

The American economy is in recession and according to Larry Kudlow, that is a cause for celebration. On Friday, the National Review regular and CNBC host praised three months of job losses as "an economic cleansing" and beamed that "recessions are therapeutic." And by all indications, Kudlow's prescription of an economic enema for the American people is one shared by John McCain.
For the details, see:

"I Want Hilary to Win"
Why?? She fights.
She's tenacious.
She wouldn't throw her grandma or minister under a bus.
She doesn't give Ronald Reagan hand jobs.
She doesn't refuse to discuss race, until she gets in trouble and needs to play that hand.
Did I mention she fights?
Case in point: Right now I'm watching Tim Russert, Andrew Sullivan and Chris Hitchens on 'Tim Russert.' They're all outraged that she is, "playing the gender card." Did I mention also that AS USUAL they are ferociously kicking her in the head in unison. I guess they heard she was ahead in recent polls - or 'GE' did, take your pic...that means she gets a full dozen kicks this weekend instead of the usual 10 delivered every week on Timmeh's show. What led them to attack her for supposedly using 'gender,' and open herself up to and even worse beat down this week?
Welllll, according to them, Hilary purportedly said in a backroom somewhere...'I'm not going to be bullied by a bunch of guys.'
Hahahahahahaha.
Yeah, like I said - she fights.

If there's one thing that pisses me the fuck off, it's some milquetoast or delicate genius or Dudley Doright type swooping down to protest, clutching their pearls and calling for the smelling salts over the everyday expression of free fucking speech, goddamnit!

Kudlow, arguing that no pain is no gain for the American people, predictably calls for more tax cuts for the wealthy and slashing corporate taxes. And to be sure, under no circumstances should government intervene to help the millions of Americans at risk of losing their homes. As Kudlow declared on March 31:
"It seems like nowadays in Washington nobody is allowed to fail at anything.
Uh, there is that little Iraq thing.

Senator Obama, quoted by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, admitted, "I am not in favor of concealed weapons. I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations."
I think this is the very important reason obama is not ready for big time politics. Dems stay away from gun control issues!

I heard a rumor that John McCain invented the abacus,and that he was the role model for Shakespeares' "Romeo And Julliette".

Happy New Moon.
April 5 New Moon
The new moon at the start of the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar is known as the Sleepy Moon. On the first three days of this month, the Chinese honor the Mother of the Western Heaven.
This is also the start of the Greek month of Mounichion and the second month of Adar in the Jewish lunar calendar.
I don't know why it's called the Sleepy Moon. Something to do with EschaCon, perhaps.
I wish we operated on a lunar calendar.

The other problem with building a moat is many areas prohibit water features deeper than 18 inches in the front yard which reduces the effectiveness of the moat considerably.

Incidentally, I do think that the breaking news that Atrios' Spanish Delights photos are "borrowed" images, rather than actual photos of foodstuffs that Atrios has himself prepared or consumed, has legs.
Little teeny millipede legs, slithering out from under damp rocks: Toby, Ruppert, Brian Hardig, Allen whoever, even Zod. Thence to Instapundit and Malkin-- and finally, Drudge will propel it into the blogosphere at large, where even corporate newsmongers like the AP, and sites like Politico, may report it.
Tragically, this scandal is bound to be good for the Republics.
