3. These questions always come out with “oh, pretty much the same, except for the unknowables.” Surely something could be known. Would there be more of a push toward nuclear power? He may have even taken a harder line, principled stand on torture, compared with Obama’s position which is indistinguishable to me from grandstanding. Grandstanding, I’ll take it, but it’s not robust if another attack materializes and a slight majority favoring torture when it can be justified (i.e. a sweeps week episode of 24 when Jack looks particularly pissed) turns into a major majority.
Oh, and McCain definitely would have opposed as President the Buy American proposals that are even now causing havoc. One of the few absolute certainties in his Senate career has been his free trade record. Again, though, such changes are too small to have an enormous visible effect now.
As much as I am puzzled why people like fish in general, I am absolutely flummoxed that people like sardines. The smell of an open tin is enough to make me gag. I’m curious how tastes develop so differently in people. My whole family loves seafood and I almost can’t be in the same house when things like crab or smelly fish are cooked. All of my senses tell me that they aren’t food, are there any studies out there that might explain this?

I can’t believe– CANNOT BELIEVE–that Mr. “F*ck Tim Russert with a spiky, acid-tipped d!ck” gets to talk to one of America’s smartest economists.
(Yes, she’s quite a bit smarter than Larry Summers.)
Isaac Crawford,
I actually like fish, and am quite fond of sardines. There are a number of foods I dislike as much as you dislike sardines. I find coconut, for example, intolerable, as does at least one close relative.
I too wonder how these things develop.
