There are seven Scardino kids. John and Tom are the ones who ran losing Congressional races, ten years apart.
Albert is the Guardian editor. Albert also writes joint articles for the Guardian with John. All the articles I saw by them were jam-packed with political venom.
The Scardinos are an interesting bunch. Albert's wife Marjorie is from Tuscon and went to Baylor. She's now CEO of the British publishing group Pearson. She's listed as Britain's most powerful woman. She became a British citizen in January 2000, and was made a Dame in February 2000. Fast work.

Sorry to go Stanley Kurtz on you again, but inspired by your "Willpower" post, I actually did some original back-of-the-envelope analysis (!) that you may be interested in.

Remember how in the debates Kerry repeatedly rolled off the stats about American casualties in July were worse than June, and in August worse than July, and in Septemeber wose than August?

Well, in September they were worse than October, pending a major upswing in the next few days.

But, we're not hearing THAT, are we?

Anyways, my analysis includes an exploration of the enemy "strategy for victory," and I argue that the enemy is about to miss a major opportunity to influence the election, at least beyond what they've already achieved.

Also, I briefly explore the operational objectives of the enemy whether Kerry or Bush is elected. My conclusion? A Kerry win means more attacks on Americans, a Bush win means the free Iraqis will bear the brunt.
