Analysis: Euphoria gone for Bush and Blair … Yahoo News Yesterday’s Men … the left coaster Blair Calls for Unity, Support for Iraq … Washington Post I think they want us to all join hands and forgive them. After all, they said they made a few mistakes [grammatical mistakes] and such. I think they want […]
We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw… The Hollow Men T. S. Eliot (1925) The blogs are all over the emptiness of the Bush/Blair "apology" yesterday. I’m not so sure that Blair is quite so guilty as Bush. He seems like a decent sort, caught up […]
I seem to be hung up on chess analogies these days. Probably because this Rove thing feels like a game of chess to me. It’s not. It’s for real. The question du jour is can Fitzgerald checkmate Rove, catch him in enough of his endless lies to indict him. But, there’s another thing nagging at […]
