...measure of how vaporous the ground truths in Iraq have become that George W. Bush had to sneak into the country he conquered. Extra security was needed to proclaim that Iraq was more secure, the surge was working and the country was worth more American blood and treasure. Before the surprise trip on Sept. 3, a TIME correspondent was summoned to a Starbucks in downtown Washington, where he was informed of the Iraq mission - and then prohibited from telling anyone other than his spouse and his boss. At dusk on Sunday, Sept. 2, passengers boarded Air Force One inside...
...chuckled as I watched TV pundits galore proclaim TIME irrelevant because Bush was not on the A list. If TIME is so yesterday, why were they discussing it? First of all, the TIME 100 was divided into several categories, which narrowed the number of slots that Bush was eligible to fill.

...used to bury wishful-thinking revenue assumptions in the footnotes, where it was hoped that nobody would discover them. This is essentially similar to the "round trip" loans described in Stockman's indictment last week. Then there is Rosy Scenario, a Cassandra in reverse, who gets carted out to proclaim that things are going to get better and better. Allegedly, false projections were also part of Stockman's arsenal of deceit in the auto-parts business, prosecutors charge...
