One Year(?)
June 2007 was the last time since D.2.O has been updated, why?
Quite honestly, the 2008 presidential election has taken all of the 'oxygen in the room' as they say, and it has largely been predictable -- we have two candidates with remarkably similar positions.
Does anyone genuinely question however, which of the two will be elected as our next president? After 8 years of the current administration, America hungers for what's new. Political party registration numbers, campaign contributions, midterm congressional elections all point to a landslide this fall for someone D.2.O long ago identified as one of its favorites (see the left pane of this site).
Here are, however, some developments of interest:
-Iran's rejection of dialogue with senior U.S. diplomats over its nuclear activities
-North Korea's compliance with suspending its nuclear activities
-Iraq and Afghanistan (again) taking turns being the most volatile areas for U.S. troops
-Gas topping $4 per gallon for the first time ever, and, why it surprised anyone as though the basic law of supply and demand is somehow new
Fluff pieces are not this site's specialty, regular posts will resume as we approach the fall presidential debates and as world affairs warrant.
