That Other Obama

April 5, 2012
The New York Times
By DAVID BROOKS

President Obama is an intelligent, judicious man

who can see all sides of an issue.

But every once in a while he tries to get politically cute,

and he puts on his Keith Olbermann mask.

Museum Is Symbol of Waste in Georgia

January 17, 2011
The New York Times
By ROBBIE BROWN


PERRY, Ga. — Every weekend, Michael Morris and his 2-year-old son, Jacob,

visit this small town’s enormous new $14 million fishing museum.

They watch bream and bass swim in aquarium-size tanks.

They play with an interactive model of a fishing boat

and try to catch fish on a computer simulation using a rod

and reel connected to a video screen.

And because the museum, the Go Fish Georgia Educational Center,

is primarily financed by the state, their father-and-son outings cost only $5.

“It’s amazing,” said Mr. Morris, a car salesman and recreational fisherman.

“When Jacob gets old enough,

I hope this will be part of what makes him really get into fishing.”

But not all Georgia taxpayers are so thrilled. Even before the museum opened in October,

“Go Fish” had become shorthand in state political circles for wasteful spending.

Republicans and Democrats alike groaned over $1.6 million a year

in bond payments and operating costs.

Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign

November 1, 2010
The New York Times
By DANA SPIOTTA

Syracuse, N.Y.

ELECTION day could not have come too soon,

after what felt like many long and painful weeks.

It had been raining steadily,

and the glorious reds and golds of upstate New York

in autumn lay clumped and muted.

On my way to work, as I do every day,

I trudged by the large corner house that is covered in signs,

some soaked and wilted in the rain,

others protected behind the glass street-facing windows.

Many of the signs were for Ann Marie Buerkle,

the Tea Party candidate for New York’s 25th Congressional district.
