…on the ’04 elections and the extreme left. If Bush=Hitler in ’04, what will Bush equal if he’s back for a second term? ….what about those people who already regard the Democrats as sell-outs and phonies, bought-and-paid-for corporate whores? That’s a subset, the ranting fringe. But you have to wonder what they’ll do if Bush… Continue reading Sobering thought from Lileks today

Not sure what’s wrong
I have about five possible posts, responses to very thought provoking posts of others, sloshing all around in my brain. None of them seem to want to jell. I can’t seem to come up with anything worthy of entry in comments boxes (I’m sure “you rock!” is good for the ego, but a few supporting… Continue reading Not sure what’s wrong

It’s only funny until someone gets hurt

At one time I would have found that essay hysterically funny. Now it just makes me wonder if… Continue reading It’s only funny until someone gets hurt
Sleepy Summit!
Sleepy Mommy history was made Monday and Tuesday when, for the very first time, Pansy and I finally got to meet each other in person! I’ll let Pansy speak for herself when she’s back home. For myself, I’ll just say I had a blast. Pansy came down to the D.C. area on Saturday and spent… Continue reading Sleepy Summit!
Spin, spin, spin!

Every Friday, Shields and David Brooks do a little back-and-forth on a current issues, and last night they were chattering about Kerry. I wasn’t paying too much attention until the very end, when the host brought up Cardinal Arinze’s comments about… Continue reading Spin, spin, spin!
