I’ve always liked A child’s Christmas in Wales. From the intro:
Okay, I have to say I think that’s pretty cool. I haven’t read much by Thomas but I just love his work. I’m not even really sure where to start or what work to start with.

Matt Damon: Hollywood’s Sexiest Mr. Nice Guy
The conditions economically and politically that the president has had to work under have been absolutely terrible.
Politics being the art of the possible, I’m more tolerant.
Those people, their family & friends, and those focused on the future of the middle class in this country tend to measure political success by that one number.
But for the remainder, the long list of small and medium success is something to celebrate.
… in a separation-of-powers gov in which he really couldn’t get more progressive legislation on the economy, health care, etc.
But hey, it must be nice to be actor who plays fictional action heroes who can pretentiously declare, “if only Obama were TOUGH!”
He could have made the original stimulus bill a lot larger.
He could have spent the last couple of years focusing on jobs and fighting for more legislation to fix the economy. FDR didn’t get everything he fought for. But he did consistently fight.
on the surge in state revenues that let’s Hickenlooper restore some cuts.
We’ll take good news wherever we can find it.

I think this will not end up looking good for the Republicans. (Say, whatever happened to all those
sheepGOP commenters who used to come on with all the poll numbers showing the low approval numbers for Congress? They’ve been conspicuously absent since the GOP took over.)shaking his head.
