Terschelling — mooi eiland. Zelfs als de lucht diepgrijs is, heb je nog steeds zoiets van ‘ha, leuk’. Mais enfin. Ik had een nieuwe lay-out beloofd, et voila: hier is ’t-ie dan.

Terschelling
Yip. Ik ben even een weekeindje aan het uitwaaien op Terschelling. Dat heb je zo met political junkies na een verkiezing. Maar vrees niet! Ik ben maandag alweer terug.

COLUMN Kelder botert door: ruzie met Quote
Jort Kelder haalt op zijn website fors uit naar zijn voormalige werkgever. Kelder corrigeerde op zijn site 925.nl het rekenwerk van de Quote500.
Republicans are astonished and, in some cases, sickened by the ‘lurch to the left’ that America made by voting for Barack Obama. To them, I say: don’t be silly.
Let there be no doubt that on November 4, 2008, America changed. Let there be no doubt that the long march, started a woman on a bus, finally reached the finish line.

Had enough? I have
Yes, the pic to the left indeed shows a bed. I dream of crashing on it and sleeping for days, if not weeks. I’m SO tired of this US election campaign – and I’m very glad that it’ll be over in a little over 36 hours. That’s also the reason why the site hasn’t been updated as often as you were probably used to by now. Sorry for that, but I simply cannot stand the election coverage anymore. However…

Obama, the new Bill Clinton?
Barack Obama looks set to become the 44th president of the United States. With national and state polls being what they are, McCain can’t win. So it’s time to take a look at what an Obama presidency would be like — and more interestingly, whether such a presidency would truly be very different from Bill Clinton’s presidency. One thing Obama should watch out for, is not making the same mistakes Clinton made.
Team Obama should move away from ‘Joe the Plumber’ REAL SOON, because if they don’t, it will explode in Obama’s face. People like Joe Wurzelbacher are the last people Obama wants to have insulted by Joe Biden. McCain already can’t wait to reel him in: Wurzelbacher symbolises the undecideds in the Red States whom Obama has been wooing for so long, and who have been abandoning McCain. Alienate him, and all the hard work will have been for naught.
It was mid-October 1992, and Bill Clinton led George HW Bush with 16 points in the polls. In the end, Clinton won the elections by 6 points. In 1999, Al Gore led George W Bush 51 to 40 points in at least one poll. In 1973, Jimmy Carter led Gerald Ford in one poll by 13 points; Carter finally won by just 2.
All this is meant to convey one message: Democrats, don’t you get your hopes up too much just yet.
