We’re in the middle of bailing out our financial institutions, and now we are told that if we don’t do something similar for the auto industry, Bad Things will happen. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was struck by FDR&#8217;s refusal to cooperate with Hoover after Roosevelt won the election of 1932 but before Inauguration Day (March 4, 1933) as depicted in Amity Shlaes&#8217; The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression.

I won&#8217;t be straying far; just spending less time on politics and more on ideas. This weekend, I&#8217;ll be reading Green Recovery, &#8220;A [...]]]></description>

McCain&#8217;s chances of victory are estimated at 1.9 percent, their lowest total of the year.

For those of you who prefer to end this campaign on a positive note, Obama&#8217;s chances of victory are estimated at 98.1 percent, their highest total of the year.
I realize that for some of you, that&#8217;s not a positive note. [...]]]></description>
