Tomorrow

++Maureen Dowd stays on message with a column about how Poppy Bush slams Junior and his pals Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. 

++Gail Collins writes about how Hillary Clinton is the perfect transition figure for this country.

++Ross Douhat writes about the disappearance of whites.

++I re-read Moody Analytics analysis of the 2016 race. Having a 90% success record since 1980, it argues the race for the White House will go to the Democrats with a 270-268 electoral vote. It cites Virginia and Ohio as the basic swing states. It argues Florida goes Republican this time, Virginia and Ohio Democrat . But a slight switch would mean Ohio in the GOP column and they would win.  Basically it is another version of FiveThirtyEight's 50-50 election. 

++Reuters posted their analysis that the Republicans would win but with less substance. It didn't make the press except to be posted by Fox News on Facebook.

++Mother Jones has a piece about Ben Carson and how his stories jell with those evangelicals know and love about personal redemption. We forget Carson is much beloved in this community since way before he ran for President.

++Bill O'Reilly got into a shouting match with George Will over his new book about Killing Reagan. The dispute was over whether the Reagan White House ver contemplated removing the Gipper because he was "disoriented" and possibly non comps mentis. Will said no and that the memos quoted by O'Reilly were quickly discarded. Interesting question.

Strange Doings

++Donald Rumsfield tells Fox News "The Rise of ISIS puts us in the same period as those days leading up to WWII. " As I recall,the Nazis controlled a major European nation, which had lost a previous World War. I guess he was alluding to the Nazis seizing power in countries where they claimed Germany had rights to protect the German minority. Or maybe that Nazism was a pernicious ideology. Or maybe because the Nazis had the Luftwaffe. That doesn't work because ISIS doesn't have an air force. Never mind.

++Scott Walker is concerned about ISIS in the United States. I guess like the American Bund, which had members on the Jersey Shore.

++Scott Walker was at 21 in Manhattan to wine and dine supply-side financial moguls. He said he was like Ronald Reagan in that he busted a major union. Unlike Reagan,he has not been a head of a major union. 

++Walker didn't know whether President Obama loved America. To be fair Rudy Guiliani was at the same dinner and said that President Obama didn't love America because he didn't grow up like you or I. I guess that means he didn't grow up white.

++Bill O'Reilly calls on American religious leaders to call for a Holy War against ISIS. Chris Hayes took the bait and argued that this is what they want.

++If you were in the Beltway,President Obama held a conference on extremist violence, which received no coverage by the Imperial Post. I guess they realized he didn't love America.

++Josh Marshall posted an article on how Obamacare is in trouble because its advocates have adopted a political strategy to persuade Justice Roberts that the Court would be in disgrace if the plaintiffs won. It would but the frustrating part is that the author lists the myriad reasons why this case shouldn't be in the Court in the first place.
