- The Old 'Tit-for-Tat' on Taiwan:
- Bill: ?? Wang Dao, is probably a pen name for some well paid spinning artist. It is a term used in Chinese political studies as "The way of kings" vs "The Way of an Aggressor" - and the US has always been seen as the "Agressor". I doubt very much if he is any...
- One Disgrace at a Time and Longer Odds Increasing:
- Bal(t)imoron: @Bill: The average layperson is fully aware of the incentives for getting a mortgage. Instead of piling on another incentivizing regulation, this is a one-shot, short-term remedy that would replace the previously failed regulation scheme.

I like the new look of the blog. Seems to load a lot faster, too.
And thanks for getting rid of the comment sign-in procedure.

@OMAR:
I agree. I must be anticipating GOP talking points already.

I really was playing a drinking game while watching the convention, so I fail to understand your question. Perhaps that will clear up tomorrow.
To clarify, Uncle Teddy was built up, made his appearance and was pretty much on par for what I expected.
Michelle knocked it out of the park. She hit point after point of things I would normally use against the Obamas. She was convincing in her love of America, gave a much needed shout-out to Hillary and was on point the entire time. I had most of her speech in advance, yet was unprepared for her ability to draw in the audience. I think she helped Barack in a substantial way if anyone was watching.

@ OMAR:
Are you saying it's a little much of a line after eight years of fear-mongering? I expect Clinton to tie «the Man from Hope» with the meme tomorrow night.

Kennedy had a 30 minute intro for an 8 minute speech.
Michelle was impressive.
My take a shot every time someone mentioned «hope» drinking game was great fun.
