<\/p>\nYesterday, it was pretty quiet, but I didn’t have alot of ambition. Previouslt I had made up the cartoons needed through the 10th, and update the one for the 15th because that was simple, but I still need to make them for the 13th, 18th, 21st, 24th, 27th, 28th, and 29th. i have the content ans artwotk, I just have to put them all together, but I really didn’t feel up to it. Oh well, there’ll be time next week. Today, of course, I have an opera to listen to, and will get ready to go see Virgil tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – The poll indicated that concerns about the economy and inflation are \u201cmuch more likely to drive voters towards Republicans.\u201d But that impulse is not only ill-considered, every bit of available evidence makes clear that the GOP is the wrong party to which to turn if you seek better U.S. economic performance in the future. In fact, it is not close. When it comes to the economy, the GOP is the problem and not the solution. If anything, it is a greater obstacle to our economic well-being today than it has ever been.

\nQuote – I do not expect this Court to uphold affirmative action, notwithstanding the clear precedent for doing so. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. — the conservative least likely to champion dramatic change in the court\u2019s precedents — has for his entire legal career opposed what he has called the \u201csordid business\u201d of dividing Americans by race, including affirmative action As Special Assistant to the Attorney General in the Reagan Justice Department, Roberts argued that affirmative action was bound to fail because it required the “recruiting of inadequately prepared candidates.”
