I don't even use clipboard. I type everything where I use it (like now...) or type it in Eudora and save it.

I'm about as boring as they come.

In GOP Country, Job Fears

By David S. Broder
Sunday, February 8, 2004; Page B07


COLUMBIA, S.C. -- When President Bush came to South Carolina on Thursday -- following on the heels of the Democratic presidential candidates, just as he had done (supposedly by coincidence) after the New Hampshire primary -- the headline in the State newspaper read: "Metro area job losses among nation's worst."



The story, streamed across the top of Page 1, reported that the two counties comprising the Columbia metropolitan area had shed 10,300 jobs last year and had 17,600 fewer jobs at the end of the year than were here four years earlier. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the 3.3 percent job loss in 2003 in Columbia was exceeded only by those recorded in Steubenville, Ohio, Saginaw, Mich., San Jose, and Lawrence, Mass.

Richland County Council Chairwoman Bernice Scott was quoted as saying that she now encounters more constituents with postgraduate degrees but without jobs. "It's awful," she told the newspaper. "The American dream is getting an education and getting a job. And the more education you have, the better the job. But there are no jobs to be had."

As it happened, Bush visited Charleston, not Columbia, and he chose to talk more about the war on terrorism, port security and homeland defense than the economy. But the headline here put an exclamation point on the reality that greeted all the Democratic candidates who campaigned in last Tuesday's primary -- a reality that helped power populist Sen. John Edwards to his 15-point victory.

In this time of what is advertised as booming economic growth, a lot of people -- including some who ought to be Republicans -- are hurting for work.

South Carolina is one of Bush's best states; he carried it with 57 percent of the vote in 2000. It certainly is stronger than Ohio, Michigan, California and Massachusetts -- where the local job losses have been worse.

But even in South Carolina, as I learned from talking with Republican Gov. Mark Sanford, the economy is a big political and policy worry. I went by to see Sanford the day after the primary, and the first thing he said was that "the angst that Edwards picked up on is palpable and real."

Sanford said that the old economic model for South Carolina and its neighboring states was based on "cheap land, cheap labor and right-to-work" laws that discouraged unionization. "It worked well for 50 years when the competition for business was with New England and the Upper Midwest. But that model has been tossed out the window with globalization, the Internet and the other new technology. So now if people are looking for cheap land or cheap labor, they're going to go to China or India or Nicaragua."

He pointed out that in Tuesday's primary, John Kerry ran best on the coast, "where we have retirees coming in and tourism," but "in the real industrial quadrant, the I-85 corridor, where we've been hard hit, Edwards did better with that economic message. While I might disagree with his prescription, whether you're Republican or Democrat, it's real, and we need to be watchful."

The governor added, "I don't think we're out of the woods yet." For two months, he said, sales tax and income tax receipts have been up for the first time in three years. "But I'm very cautious. I don't know if this is the end of the [home mortgage] refinancing boom combined with everyone spending their tax cut from last fall. If those two don't spark a true recovery -- 'cause right now we've had a jobless recovery -- I think there may be more choppy waters ahead."

Sanford is trying to build a new economic strategy, with the help of Robert Faith, the Harvard Business School grad he recruited to run the Department of Commerce, and advice from Harvard business guru Michael Porter. But it will be slow work, he said, and the political pieces -- tax reform and restructuring of an archaic state government -- face opposition in the Republican-controlled Legislature.

As difficult as things may be in Columbia or other cities, Sanford said, the real headache is what to do in the "one-mill towns" when that one employer shuts down or moves out.

Fortunately for Bush, he said, "South Carolina is a very conservative state," and one with deep historical, economic and cultural ties to the military. So many South Carolinians have friends or family members serving in Iraq or Afghanistan that "they want to support the president if only to support those kids who are over there." That gives Bush "a degree of insulation he might not have many other places."

Then Sanford returned to his main theme. "The economy will be a bigger issue than people realize," he said. "People will vote their pocketbooks. It's still the economy, stupid."

WAR AND PEACE by Leo Tolstoy
BOOK ONE: 1805
CHAPTER I

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the Buonapartes. But I warn you, if you don't tell me that this means war, if you still try to defend the infamies and horrors perpetrated by that Antichrist- I really believe he is Antichrist- I will have nothing more to do with you and you are no longer my friend, no longer my 'faithful slave,' as you call yourself! But how do you do? I see I have frightened you- sit down and tell me all the news."

It was in July, 1805, and the speaker was the well-known Anna Pavlovna Scherer, maid of honor and favorite of the Empress Marya Fedorovna. With these words she greeted Prince Vasili Kuragin, a man of high rank and importance, who was the first to arrive at her reception. Anna Pavlovna had had a cough for some days. She was, as she said, suffering from la grippe; grippe being then a new word in St. Petersburg, used only by the elite.

All her invitations without exception, written in French, and delivered by a scarlet-liveried footman that morning, ran as follows:

"If you have nothing better to do, Count [or Prince], and if the prospect of spending an evening with a poor invalid is not too terrible, I shall be very charmed to see you tonight between 7 and 10- Annette Scherer."

"Heavens! what a virulent attack!" replied the prince, not in the least disconcerted by this reception. He had just entered, wearing an embroidered court uniform, knee breeches, and shoes, and had stars on his breast and a serene expression on his flat face. He spoke in that refined French in which our grandfathers not only spoke but thought, and with the gentle, patronizing intonation natural to a man of importance who had grown old in society and at court. He went up to Anna Pavlovna, kissed her hand, presenting to her his bald, scented, and shining head, and complacently seated himself on the sofa.

"First of all, dear friend, tell me how you are. Set your friend's mind at rest," said he without altering his tone, beneath the politeness and affected sympathy of which indifference and even irony could be discerned.

"Can one be well while suffering morally? Can one be calm in times like these if one has any feeling?" said Anna Pavlovna. "You are staying the whole evening, I hope?"

"And the fete at the English ambassador's? Today is Wednesday. I must put in an appearance there," said the prince. "My daughter is coming for me to take me there."

"I thought today's fete had been canceled. I confess all these festivities and fireworks are becoming wearisome."

"If they had known that you wished it, the entertainment would have been put off," said the prince, who, like a wound-up clock, by force of habit said things he did not even wish to be believed.

"Don't tease! Well, and what has been decided about Novosiltsev's dispatch? You know everything."

"What can one say about it?" replied the prince in a cold, listless tone. "What has been decided? They have decided that Buonaparte has burnt his boats, and I believe that we are ready to burn ours."

Prince Vasili always spoke languidly, like an actor repeating a stale part. Anna Pavlovna Scherer on the contrary, despite her forty years, overflowed with animation and impulsiveness. To be an enthusiast had become her social vocation and, sometimes even when she did not feel like it, she became enthusiastic in order not to disappoint the expectations of those who knew her. The subdued smile which, though it did not suit her faded features, always played round her lips expressed, as in a spoiled child, a continual consciousness of her charming defect, which she neither wished, nor could, nor considered it necessary, to correct.

In the midst of a conversation on political matters Anna Pavlovna burst out:

"Oh, don't speak to me of Austria. Perhaps I don't understand things, but Austria never has wished, and does not wish, for war. She is betraying us! Russia alone must save Europe. Our gracious sovereign recognizes his high vocation and will be true to it. That is the one thing I have faith in! Our good and wonderful sovereign has to perform the noblest role on earth, and he is so virtuous and noble that God will not forsake him. He will fulfill his vocation and crush the hydra of revolution, which has become more terrible than ever in the person of this murderer and villain! We alone must avenge the blood of the just one.... Whom, I ask you, can we rely on?... England with her commercial spirit will not and cannot understand the Emperor Alexander's loftiness of soul. She has refused to evacuate Malta. She wanted to find, and still seeks, some secret motive in our actions. What answer did Novosiltsev get? None. The English have not understood and cannot understand the self-abnegation of our Emperor who wants nothing for himself, but only desires the good of mankind. And what have they promised? Nothing! And what little they have promised they will not perform! Prussia has always declared that Buonaparte is invincible, and that all Europe is powerless before him.... And I don't believe a word that Hardenburg says, or Haugwitz either. This famous Prussian neutrality is just a trap. I have faith only in God and the lofty destiny of our adored monarch. He will save Europe!"

She suddenly paused, smiling at her own impetuosity.

"I think," said the prince with a smile, "that if you had been sent instead of our dear Wintzingerode you would have captured the King of Prussia's consent by assault. You are so eloquent. Will you give me a cup of tea?"

"In a moment. A propos," she added, becoming calm again, "I am expecting two very interesting men tonight, le Vicomte de Mortemart, who is connected with the Montmorencys through the Rohans, one of the best French families. He is one of the genuine emigres, the good ones. And also the Abbe Morio. Do you know that profound thinker? He has been received by the Emperor. Had you heard?"

"I shall be delighted to meet them," said the prince. "But tell me," he added with studied carelessness as if it had only just occurred to him, though the question he was about to ask was the chief motive of his visit, "is it true that the Dowager Empress wants Baron Funke to be appointed first secretary at Vienna? The baron by all accounts is a poor creature."

Prince Vasili wished to obtain this post for his son, but others were trying through the Dowager Empress Marya Fedorovna to secure it for the baron.

Anna Pavlovna almost closed her eyes to indicate that neither she nor anyone else had a right to criticize what the Empress desired or was pleased with.

"Baron Funke has been recommended to the Dowager Empress by her sister," was all she said, in a dry and mournful tone.

As she named the Empress, Anna Pavlovna's face suddenly assumed an expression of profound and sincere devotion and respect mingled with sadness, and this occurred every time she mentioned her illustrious patroness. She added that Her Majesty had deigned to show Baron Funke beaucoup d'estime, and again her face clouded over with sadness.

The prince was silent and looked indifferent. But, with the womanly and courtierlike quickness and tact habitual to her, Anna Pavlovna wished both to rebuke him (for daring to speak he had done of a man recommended to the Empress) and at the same time to console him, so she said:

"Now about your family. Do you know that since your daughter came out everyone has been enraptured by her? They say she is amazingly beautiful."

The prince bowed to signify his respect and gratitude.

"I often think," she continued after a short pause, drawing nearer to the prince and smiling amiably at him as if to show that political and social topics were ended and the time had come for intimate conversation- "I often think how unfairly sometimes the joys of life are distributed. Why has fate given you two such splendid children? I don't speak of Anatole, your youngest. I don't like him," she added in a tone admitting of no rejoinder and raising her eyebrows. "Two such charming children. And really you appreciate them less than anyone, and so you don't deserve to have them."

And she smiled her ecstatic smile.

"I can't help it," said the prince. "Lavater would have said I lack the bump of paternity."

"Don't joke; I mean to have a serious talk with you. Do you know I am dissatisfied with your younger son? Between ourselves" (and her face assumed its melancholy expression), "he was mentioned at Her Majesty's and you were pitied...."

The prince answered nothing, but she looked at him significantly, awaiting a reply. He frowned.

"What would you have me do?" he said at last. "You know I did all a father could for their education, and they have both turned out fools. Hippolyte is at least a quiet fool, but Anatole is an active one. That is the only difference between them." He said this smiling in a way more natural and animated than usual, so that the wrinkles round his mouth very clearly revealed something unexpectedly coarse and unpleasant.

"And why are children born to such men as you? If you were not a father there would be nothing I could reproach you with," said Anna Pavlovna, looking up pensively.

"I am your faithful slave and to you alone I can confess that my children are the bane of my life. It is the cross I have to bear. That is how I explain it to myself. It can't be helped!"

He said no more, but expressed his resignation to cruel fate by a gesture. Anna Pavlovna meditated.

"Have you never thought of marrying your prodigal son Anatole?" she asked. "They say old maids have a mania for matchmaking, and though I don't feel that weakness in myself as yet,I know a little person who is very unhappy with her father. She is a relation of yours, Princess Mary Bolkonskaya."

Prince Vasili did not reply, though, with the quickness of memory and perception befitting a man of the world, he indicated by a movement of the head that he was considering this information.

"Do you know," he said at last, evidently unable to check the sad current of his thoughts, "that Anatole is costing me forty thousand rubles a year? And," he went on after a pause, "what will it be in five years, if he goes on like this?" Presently he added: "That's what we fathers have to put up with.... Is this princess of yours rich?"

"Her father is very rich and stingy. He lives in the country. He is the well-known Prince Bolkonski who had to retire from the army under the late Emperor, and was nicknamed 'the King of Prussia.' He is very clever but eccentric, and a bore. The poor girl is very unhappy. She has a brother; I think you know him, he married Lise Meinen lately. He is an aide-de-camp of Kutuzov's and will be here tonight."

"Listen, dear Annette," said the prince, suddenly taking Anna Pavlovna's hand and for some reason drawing it downwards. "Arrange that affair for me and I shall always be your most devoted slave- slafe wigh an f, as a village elder of mine writes in his reports. She is rich and of good family and that's all I want."

And with the familiarity and easy grace peculiar to him, he raised the maid of honor's hand to his lips, kissed it, and swung it to and fro as he lay back in his armchair, looking in another direction.

"Attendez," said Anna Pavlovna, reflecting, "I'll speak to Lise, young Bolkonski's wife, this very evening, and perhaps the thing can be arranged. It shall be on your family's behalf that I'll start my apprenticeship as old maid."

it's easy, you just paste whatever is on your clipboard right now. no comments, just paste, no edits allowed. i thought this was absolutely fascinating when i saw it on another board because it is so telling about what people are doing at that very moment.

so, i'll make no more comments... here's my first one:

66.55.170.70
When the rest of the gang leaves and Frenchie is left alone at the diner, she follws the big waitress around as she cleans up the place, asking her about jobs and stuff. The waitress is going to the back and tries to turn off the light switch with her elbow because her hands are full of dirty plates and dishes. The light turns off--but the lady's arm never even touches the switch and the switch never even moves down!
