But, since you can fool most of the people most of the time (or at least
for a few weeks every four years), most people--including media types--
seem to swallow the argument that we're in a faltering recovery.  Even
though our eyes and ears (& unemployed friends!) tell us otherwise.  There's
no recovery today, there wasn't one last year, and there hasn't been one
since sometime in the 1980s.  Why do most people listen to these politicians
anyway?

Bush is a shoo-in, despite the manufactured news (polls, yecch) of the day
regarding his standing among prospective voters.  Does Clinton really
have a chance?
