No way around it...
"Conservatives drive up income inequality because they focus primarily on the well off, which benefits only the well off. Liberals keep income inequality in check because they focus primarily on the working and middle classes, which benefits everyone. And that's the underlying reason that Democratic presidents are better for the economy than Republican presidents."Click here for more from Political Animal.

"Did you know that Democratic presidents are better for the economy than Republicans? Democratic presidents have consistently higher economic growth and consistently lower unemployment than Republican presidents. If you add in a time lag, you get the same result. If you eliminate the best and worst presidents, you get the same result. If you take a look at other economic indicators, you get the same result. There's just no way around it: Democratic administrations are better for the economy than Republican administrations."
NPR under attack. Great! With Fox already in the federal government's pocket, CNN riding their jock hoping to catch ratings and Newsweek, CBS and ABC already proving they're ready to capitulate to the government and the radical right under the slightest pressure at a moment's notice, the concept of a Free Press in the US is becoming a more and more distant concept by the day.
So will it all come down to George Lucas for honest political commentary?! Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith = a "cautionary tale for our time" and "a blistering critique of the war in Iraq"? That just about says it all about the state of this union.... (Washington Post)
