I would just recommend the Frank Rich column over the Kos diary. Rich makes the same points, but does a better job and is much more entertaining.
Not sure the "narrative" about Obama is catching on, either. The press will grumble about "access," but considering what the Bush Administration has done to them over 8 years, and what sycophantic toadies they still are despite that, I'm not sure any "press narrative" is much of a concern at this point. After all, McCain has already told us we can't trust the press. He can't preach that one round and square.

Copeland, 71, is a pioneer of the prosperity gospel, which holds that believers are destined to flourish spiritually, physically and financially — and share the wealth with others.
His ministry's 1,500-acre campus, behind an iron gate a half-hour drive from Forth Worth, is testament to his success. It includes a church, a private airstrip, a hangar for the ministry's $17.5 million jet and other aircraft, and a $6 million church-owned lakefront mansion.
Already a well-known figure, Copeland has come under greater scrutiny in recent months. He is one target of a Senate Finance Committee investigation into allegations of questionable spending and lax financial accountability at six large televangelist organizations that preach health-and-wealth theology.
All have denied wrongdoing. But Copeland has fought back the hardest, refusing to answer most questions from the inquiry's architect, Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa.

The railroads often worked like W's texas ranger stadium - the real estate sales generated a lot of money.
But to me, it's fascinating how the core myths of the independent cowboy of the west are so counter-factual - billy the kid was a hired hand in a battle between English financed ranches over control of Army beef contracts.

The typical grant was a 100 ft. wide right of way, and 100 acres or so every 10 miles for a new town with a station.
The Union Pacific -- "The railroads would receive a four hundred foot right-of-way, ten alternate sections of land for each mile of track, and first mortgage loans of sixteen thousand dollars per mile in flat country, thirty-two thousand dollars in foothills, and forty-eight thousand dollars in the mountains. Yet even these inducements failed to generate private capital sufficient to initiate work on the Union Pacific. Congress responded in 1864 by doubling the land grant, reducing the government loan to second mortgage status, and increasing the number of shares of one hundred dollar par value stock ten-fold, to one million. Thus the scheme began with federal underpinings in line with land grants to some canals and railroad projects in the East"
"From Boston and New York came urgent telegrams from company executives pleading for more track to be laid, for each new segment of line meant bonds sold and land acquired."

That's true. I don't find it all that emotionally appealing however.
Although most critics disagree, to me some of the greatest power of Jefferson's works is only revealed when they are sampled by later artists and worked into rhythms that Jefferson himself might not have recognized. For example,
. I am not included within the pale of glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us. The blessings in which you, this day, rejoice, are not enjoyed in common.The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. The sunlight that brought light and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn. To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony. Do you mean, citizens, to mock me, by asking me to speak to-day? If so, there is a parallel to your conduct. And let me warn you that it is dangerous to copy the example of a nation whose crimes, towering up to heaven, were thrown down by the breath of the Almighty, burying that nation in irrevocable ruin! I can to-day take up the plaintive lament of a peeled and woe-smitten people!

Why John McCain will win:
“There’s no doubt, particularly as Bush has adopted policies in the direction of Obama, that that gives Obama bragging rights,” said John R. Bolton, the Bush administration’s former ambassador to the United Nations, who has sharply criticized the administration’s talks with Iran and North Korea. “But if you believe as I do that this administration is in the midst of an intellectual collapse, it doesn’t hurt McCain. Occasionally in politics it helps to be right.”

How so? There are serious grievances to be addressed, from the failure of Bush to defend the nation (thanks for 9/11) to the failure of the GOP to strengthen and protect the populace. Ignoring the GOP's muyriad failures, as Mccain't is doing, is not a solution. Recognizing, identifying and planning for change, as Obama is doing so very well, is what the USA needs right now, more than anything. mccain has no foreign policy experience, and is tin-eared about domestic policy, protected by his wife's billions and his reliance on the government teat for his entire life. There is not a weaker candidate that the GOP could have run.

I'd have to check dates, but the Kansas Pacific (KC - Denver) was built almost simultaneously with the Union Pacific. Palmer resigned from the KP in 1870 when it reached Denver so that he could form the D&RG, which started construction late in 1870. So the KP had to have started before the Golden Spike.

word of the day: resentment. ~ jab
Last weekend the Globe ran an op-ed by Joan Venochi echoing the same themes: "The Audacity of Ego".
Joan is still upset about Hillary's defeat, and she's not shy about giving McCain plenty of cupcakes:
"But with McCain, there's also the sense of a man who made mistakes in life and acknowledges them.
McCain's humility comes through in his book, "Faith of my Fathers," which he wrote at age 63, after completing a career in the US Navy and moving onto politics. Obama wrote the more self-reverential "Dreams from My Father," after he was elected president of the Harvard Law Review."
Joan may never get over it. Her next column will examine why Catholics will never vote for Obama, because of his ego.
Until then, I'll remember, with a smile, Our Al's correct use - and pronunciation -of the word 'detritus'.

The only explanation I heard that makes sense of the visit to the troops in Germany was that there is a certain general of the air force (ret) who is on Obama's staff. This has pissed off the Air Force and they went to great pains to block this general from exercising the normal perquisites that come with being a (ret)General of the Air Force. I believe they even went so far as to ask HIM to not come. Obama, in deference to his friend and compatriot, stood by his friend and replied that he was not welcome, he would not come either.
Another concept that is foreign to Republicans. The boss being showing fealty to the help.

And still speaking of railroads, please be aware that I have made my point below.
Wholesale investment versus retail - one drove the prosperity of the British Empire, and the other opened the various frontiers. (Did I mention my other most cherished fact - that in 1914 the British Empire either owned outright or controlled or 'leased' 59% of the entire world economy? The best the US ever did was in about 1962, at 30%. 59% of the entire world.)

Yanno, I'd never heard it any way other than "de-TRY-tus." And when he said, "DEH-trih-tus" I instantly thought, well, that must be correct.

McCain's humility comes through in his book, "Faith of my Fathers," which he wrote at age 63, after completing a career in the US Navy and moving onto politics. Obama wrote the more self-reverential "Dreams from My Father," after he was elected president of the Harvard Law Review."
I'll bet Obama's book sold better.
And Joan can go Cheney herself.

STANTON (Mich.) -- Ryan Villet, one of six Republican candidates for the 70th District House seat, is dropping out of the race for "personal reasons," he said Saturday.
The 39-year-old Stanton lawyer and former Montcalm County commissioner confirmed the woman he dated while he and his wife were separated early this year is pregnant.

Come one by Ina, I have fresh Michigan Sweet Corn. Blueberries, a cherry pie that is simply the best ever! (Made by my favorite cherry pie makers EVER - I have tried, I cannot do it as well.) and some really excellent chicken sausage with asiago and spinach for teh grill. . . .

Yum!
You know, I bought a bottle of cherry wine when I crossed Michigan in the summer of '91. It came in handy when my windshield was pulverized in a hail storm in Montana and I was stuck in some flooded town for the night.

That kind of mispronunciation is often simply a sign of someone who gets a lot of information from reading.

I'd have to check dates, but the Kansas Pacific (KC - Denver) was built almost
Kansas-Pacific and Denver-Pacific railroads were both completed in 1870. At that time, Denver had a population of 4,759 -- 10 more people than it had in 1860. It would increase seven-fold by 1880 and triple again by 1890, when it would become the West's third largest city -- behind San Francisco and Omaha.

If the smell goes away, and the spots seem to dry out, you can use Killz to paint over the spots.

Brand name for mold-reducing primer. Used to create a base for painting old walls, covering rust stains, etc. Supposed to inhibit mold growth, IIRC. Usually the primer of choice in applications that will be exposed to the elements.
Or something like that.

You can buy Killz in hardware stores. It's a paint sealer/ undercoat. Keeps stuff (spots!) from bleeding through and ruining the top (color) coat.

Yeah. Be careful about using the oil based version indoors around anything that needs to breathe. Can be nasty over large areas. The water based works pretty well, much less odor, might need a few coats.
