Burying Bill

Filed under: Democrats — by Bob Zuber @ 1:31 pm

Writing in the Guardian, Jonathan Freedland dissects the meteoric decline of Bubba’s political reputation: “Had Clinton simply lost his touch? Had too many years cocooned in the suites of the super rich dulled his once-uncanny feel for the political mood? Or was this old-school, 20th-century campaigner simply unable to cope in the age of YouTube and the blogosphere? My Guardian colleague Richard Adams says watching Bill Clinton this campaign season was like watching “Bjorn Borg trying to make his comeback with a wooden racket.”

Words for Acts

Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies. From these proceed debt and taxes. And armies, debts and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few...No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

James Madison, 1795
