In the article Return of the ‘Contract With America’, author Joe Conason writes

The Republicans have announced the forthcoming release of the “Contract From America”—a set of legislative proposals presumably intended to replicate the “Contract With America” used by their leaders in the historic 1994 midterm when they won control of both houses of Congress.

The Republicans seem to have trouble with prepositions.  I have always called these things Contract On America. It seems so much like a Mob hit contract, that my title seemed more appropriate.

For another take on the Contract On America, read Clive McFarlane’s piece GOP pledge no pathway to future in the Worcester T & G.

The actual headline of the article is Stimulus Spending On Highways Isn’t Delivering On Job Promises.

This is the classic “the glass is half empty” story if there ever was one.

Based on other people’s comments on the story, my comment was:

Why am I not surprised that people see in this story exactly what they want to see? No matter which side of the political spectrum you are on, this story proves that you have been right all along. Does McClatchy have a magic typewriter hidden away in their offices?

So, you can feel safe in reading the story because it is sure to prove to you what you have always known, whatever that is.
