Grist For The Narrative Mill

It follows that November's fifty-year assassination anniversary would lead to another fifty-year mark: the anniversary today of LBJ's "War on Poverty" speech.

Despite all right-wing success in undermining it, cue media conclusions that the "war" was a failure and government can't address poverty.

On another media front: Robert Gates.

It was trustingly bipartisan of Obama to retain a long-time Bush family operative. On the other hand, I don't look forward to how this will feed the "failed presidency" narrative.
