A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    Greenwald Corrects Diagram on My Suggestion, Doesn't Note Correction

    Actually, this wasn't "your" correction -- another commenter (Vadranor) pointed out this error before you did:

    http://tinyurl.com/3z9c2d

    And I didn't correct it this morning -- I corrected it last night, as soon as I saw the comments (including yours - just not first) pointing out the error.

    The reason I didn't add an update noting the correction is because the corrected graph actually bolsters, not undermines, my point -- that is, the accurate graph reflects even greater GOP control than I originally indicated, since I had forgotten about that 6 months in 2001 when the GOP, under Trent Lott, controlled the Senate.
