SO I SAW ON THE TV AT THE GYM THIS MORNING that Obama is already preparing his transition, and having his aides read books about FDR in the hope of another 100 days. I’m guessing that this book won’t be among them, which is too bad.

Plus there’s this: FDR’s policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists calculate. I’m just, you know, sayin’.

UPDATE: “All our wars on poverty have been lost by failing to help the poor help themselves.”
