Meek’s Ploy
October 29, 2010 Leave a comment
It is hard to understand how a politician gains by purposefully losing, and in the process ensures that the winning candidate is his political opposite.
The response is intransigence, ineptitude, a personal vendetta, irrationality or an unwillingness to work for the greater good. Meek is doing more damage to his party than Marco Rubio could have ever aspired.
Let Democratic candidates in 2012 be aware of the backlash of Independents and Democrats the next time around.
On a US Lost Decade: Yes, Just like Latin America’s Lost Decade

If this is true (or even half-true) then Coral Gables (South Florida and Florida) are in for a sustained period of stagnate property values and economic activity that neither the city commission nor the city manager seem ready to face. Seemingly, only the voters can fix this problem.
…the Obama economic plan was a move in the right direction, but too small to generate a visible improvement given the scale of the economic crisis.
Wolf concludes bleakly:
With a political stalemate expected, further action will now be blocked. A lost decade seems quite likely. That would be a calamity for the US – and the world.
Mega-storm in the Midwest
October 28, 2010 Leave a comment
For those of us in Florida who hang around hurricanes, we know that this is truly a low pressure. It is virtually a hurricane over land in the Midwest. When will people begin to believe that climate change is real, not only in the imagination of scientists.
The mega-storm reached peak intensity late yesterday afternoon over Minnesota, resulting in the lowest barometric pressure readings ever recorded in the continental United States, except for from hurricanes and nor’easters affecting the Atlantic seaboard. So far, it appears the lowest reading (not yet official) was a pressure of 28.20″ (954.9 mb) reduced to sea level reported from Bigfork, Minnesota at 5:13pm CDT.
