American DeTocqueville: June 2007
http://americandetocqueville.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 21, 2007. Was here: Okay, so maybe not this EXACT one. But think about it - what other format allowed, nay PERMITTED, free flowing prose, poetry, art, and other forms of both intellectual and unintelligible exchanges than your friendly bathroom wall? DeTocque's favorite "early blog" would have to be at The Raven in DC's Mt. Pleasant neighborhood. Posted by Jim Arkedis. Romney swings and misses again. Someone please tell Mitt to Quit. He's embarrassing himself again, with this video. While ...

American DeTocqueville: March 2007
http://americandetocqueville.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 27, 2007. The Cost of Winning. If you get a few minutes, DeTocque highly recommends the following article at RollingStone.com. On Democrats' "real enemy" in winning elections - their own consultants. Holding the Dems back are: the excessive cost and payment structure of their consultants/pollsters vis-a-vis the Republicans' aides, the lack of new blood amongst Demcrat strategists (save Bill Clinton's staff), and the overreliance on shot-gun style network advertising. It's been clear for qu...

American DeTocqueville: May 2007
http://americandetocqueville.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Sarko effectively sinking the PS? Sarkozy's appointment of Bernard Koucher is striking for many reasons. As a subset of Koucher's appointment as FM, it's notable that Sarko would give that. Two, look what it's doing to the Socialists - they've since ousted Koucher, and are practically conceding any hope of a majority in next month's elections to the Assemble Nationale. Ladies and gents, start your engines, because we may be in for an entertaining power struggle when the dust ...

American DeTocqueville: Post-Patraeus Testamony
http://americandetocqueville.blogspot.com/2007/09/post-patraeus-testamony.html
Monday, September 10, 2007. When General David Patraeus is finally done testifying infront of the various House committees, what will we have learned? It is fair to examine any witnesses credentials, whether they be civilian or military, Republican or Democrat, Superman or Lex Luthor. Every man, woman, and child is born with biases which are difficult to completely repress, particularly if you are testifying on how well you're doing in your own job. General Petraeus says that his testamony was not prepar...

American DeTocqueville: April 2007
http://americandetocqueville.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 19, 2007. Snarlin' Arlen et al. Posted by Jim Arkedis. The hits keep on coming for those with connections to the Jack Abramoff to-do. The latest to tiptoe to the edge of the high-dive is northern California Republican Congressman John Doolittle. The story goes like this:. 1 Doolittle's wife creates company as a fundraiser. 2 Doolittle hires wife's company to raise funds for Doolittle's 2006 re-election campaign. 5 Feds get wise, start investigation.

American DeTocqueville: September 2007
http://americandetocqueville.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 17, 2007. The Way Out: First steps. Republicans talk of political stability in Iraq created by a calmer security environment, which is facilitated by American military presence. Democrats want to force Iraqi political reconciliation by signaling to the Iraqi government that American forces won't be around forever by threatening a withdrawal. Designed to get a foreign government to act in American interests. Let's then admit that diplomacy should take precedence over security, because po...

American DeTocqueville: July 2007
http://americandetocqueville.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 3, 2007. Check out this article on John McCain's staggering campaign effort. From the NYT. This is a pointed validation of the danger of getting into the campaign too early. Just think about where McCain would be today if people were begging him to get in the race because they were unhappy with the rest of the field. Instead, the faithful are dying to have a Fred Thompson or a Newt get in to spice things up. Posted by Jim Arkedis. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Fistful of Euros.

American DeTocqueville: August 2007
http://americandetocqueville.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 30, 2007. The Dems fear of being painted "soft on terrorism" will be their albatross through this election cycle, and probably the next. Read about it here. In the Washington Post. Pelosi scared of taking the security offensive? Cue scary music)". This makes them do silly things like talking a tough game on civil liberties then blindly reauthorizing the FISA bill. Why not turn the tide on the administration? Could be. So why not simultaneously vote the Republican version down, and ap...

American DeTocqueville: Which is Worse?
http://americandetocqueville.blogspot.com/2007/08/which-is-worse.html
Wednesday, August 29, 2007. Well, it's been a great break over the summer, but DeTocque should probably get back in action. In the FT, on Bush's speech regaring the future of the Middle East. Frankly, and disappointingly, on the finer technical points of the US abandoning Iraq, it's rather hard to completely disagree with this doomsday scenario (though his choice of prose and delivery-style continue to induce fits of wretching):. So, DeTocque submits this, gentle readers:. Posted by Jim Arkedis. Labels: ...
