I think I've cut my typo rate down a full .08 percent. Woo-hoo! (I maintain the typographical errors as some sort of charming artfulness.)

The Race as It stands now: “‘Ten days ago, we were at a huge fork in the road,’ said Democratic pollster Geoffrey Garin. ‘This could have become 1988 [when Bush’s father took control over Michael S. Dukakis shortly after Labor Day] and was a real moment of danger for the Kerry campaign. In a lot of ways, he’s survived it and we’re back to a very competitive race again.'”

In Defense of Bush: The truth is that the current administration is not the most disastrous in our history. George W. Bush’s record on running up debt to burden our children is only the worst since Ronald Reagan. His record on government surveillance of citizens is only the worst since Richard Nixon. His record on foreign-military policy has gotten us into only our worst foreign mess since Lyndon Johnson sank us into Vietnam. His economic record on job creation is only the worst since Herbert Hoover. His record of tax favoritism for the rich is only the worst since Calvin Coolidge. His record of trampling on civil liberties is only the worst since Woodrow Wilson or perhaps John Adams. There was, however, a presidency that was altogether worse than all or any of these: that of James Buchanan.

A buddy of mine is stationed here and they’re fixing up a park on a major street. Gen. Chiarelli was very proud of this accomplishment, and he stressed this to me when I interviewed him for the TIME story. But Baghdadis couldn’t care less. They don’t want city beautification projects;
