There is a difference between winning the popular vote and winning the popular vote MAJORITY. I believe the article is correct that no Democrat has won more than 50% of the vote since Carter.

#48 Re your comment about Bruce Baugh's post at #28. Your reading is the same as mine.

I think some people have not been reading carefully. But, except for feeling bad that he (Bruce Baugh) may feel under attack himself, I have enjoyed the posts responding to him.

Re #6. I'm too lazy to actually organize anything. But if others do my money is there. What a perfect idea.

I remember the first moon landing live on TV. I was annoyed that my cartoons weren't on. I was 6. I have memories of earlier (going back to at least age 4 and maybe 3) but they are not of news stories. Age 4 is my grandfather's funeral. Kissing him in the casket. He was so cold. The earlier memory is playing tinker toys with the same grandfather. So, an younger 4 or maybe a 3.)

Re: eBay Neg feedback and other eBay scams.

I get this and others frequently and I do both buy and sell on eBay. So some could be real. Even so, when an email comes in refering to eBay I delete it without reading it. There is no need to since most legitimate emails will be accessible at a message page linked to your eBay account. If its a real email it will show up there so there is no need to risk a phishing attack by opening it in my email tool.

Cheers,
Trevin

Clipped.

"According to Gallup 35% of the public thinks the Federal government response has been "good" or "very good", and another 20% think it's been OK"

Clipped.

"What would it take to make these people believe the Federal government screwed up? Mass public executions on prime time TV?"

I would like to note that most of what this story condemns is the local response, not the federal response. It does little good to conflate the two where blame is concerned. They have different responsibilities and different capabilities.
