Endgame

Cities change before they die:

— Matt Continetti seems to have forgotten that “being popular” was an important part of Andrew Jackson’s populist political strategy; everyone hates Sarah Palin.

— Fred Hiatt’s fuzzy math.

— Nancy Pelosi is a pretty canny strategist but the real difference between her and her intra-caucus critics is that many of them don’t actually have any policy goals they want to achieve.

— Macro policy catechism.

— Ben Nelson demanding Stupak language in Senate version of health care bill.

— How the Senate filibusters the world.

Song of the day is “Hell” from Tegan & Sara, the greatest lesbian pop duo to ever come out of Calgary.
