Fred's Failure
The Reagan Coalition didn't die of natural causes: It's now steel-vault CW that the tripartite Reagan Coalition (national security conservatives, social conservatives, economic conservatives) has sundered. There's a tendency to portray this as some sort of inevitable process, a working-out of an ideological dialiectic. Hence Fred Thompson was just a fool to run on a Reaganite platform--the old coalition doesn't exist and can't exist. There is at least one sense in which the coalition was a victim of its own success: by successfully pursuing elimination of the welfare (AFDC) entitlement, the Gingrich Republicans removed a major reason for public distrust of liberal "affirmative government." But that merely meant the R.C. was fighting an increasingly unfavorable battle against Democrats who wanted the non-welfare welfare state to expand (i.e., to provide health care).
Late leader's birthday no longer a holiday in Turkmenistan
The festivities rivaled similar extravagant events in North Korea, with military parades, dances and lavish gifts. For his 63rd birthday, Nizyazov's ministers proclaimed him God's prophet on earth. This year, according to a law passed last week, Flag Day - a holiday typically observed in conjunction with Niyazov's birthday - will be celebrated by itself. The move comes as Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, the current president, tentatively attempts to unfasten himself and the country from some of the most bizarre legacies of Niyazov's leadership, though it remains unclear whether his reforms will lead to greater liberalization or simply a recasting of the ubiquitous statues to the former leader in his own image. "So far we're just not seeing any radical systematic change in the government," said Erika Dailey, deputy director of international operations at the Open Society Institute, which is financed by the billionaire investor George Soros.
