Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

Abraham Lincoln is the odds-on favorite to be the first of Barack Obama’s White House predecessors to receive a shout-out in the new president’s inaugural address.

But there are lots of other Inauguration angles on which you can PLACE BETS with bookmakers.

Personally, I’m willing to wager that Obama mentions God three times in his speech, which would tie George W. Bush’s total from four years ago.

Your assignment today, boys and girls, is to come up with good arguments — no hollow rhetoric, please — as to why THIS LITTLE ESSAY about taxes and the economy is wrong.

Good luck.
