don’t forget New Orleans…

Just back from a week’s jaunt to celebrate a 40th wedding anniversary and take a look at the Gulf Coast and New Orleans. I wrote about it with lots of pictures on another blog [http://www.3oldmen.com]. You have to start back a page and come forward [blogs are just that way]. I’ll not reiterate it here, […]

huh?

a strategist extrordinaire…

Kathleen Reardon for Chairman of the Democratic Party! Last time I said Kathleen Reardon for President! but I was wrong. She’s too valuable to waste on such things. She’s the only person writing right now who has a sensible strategy for turning this thing around. Don’t miss a word she says. I’m not teasing about […]

Tim Russert…

and Jon Stewart just skewered Karl Rove and Dick Cheney on the Daily Show, and Jay Leno just didn’t take Ann Coulter on. She had her line about "The funny thing about this is I’m calling liberals ‘Godless.’ Oh, they’re cool with that. Just don’t attack the Jersey Girls." She sees herself as "Dorothy," dropping […]

Our Job

There’s a danger here in getting into shouting matches with the current Administration/Republican Campaign [see below. in fact, see everywhere] in response to Al Zarqawi’s assasination and Rove’s seeming vindication.

current spin…

      in which the House majority leader exhorts his Congressmen to make sure to paint Democrats as cowards and Republicans as heros. Let’s keep the contentious, divisive atmosphere alive – the Coulter/Malkin method.   Ann and Michelle really are the face of the Republican Party… 

I hate being this rational…

What was he innocent of, Karl Rove? I suppose they all were innocent of outing an Undercover Agent, the real charge. They said, I presume, that they didn’t know she was under cover, and there was no way to prove that wasn’t true [she certainly doesn’t seem to have been under any cover to them]. […]

the autopsy…

I can’t join in the speclation frenzy about Rove’s not being indicted. And it’s hard to focus much on Jason Leopold or other bloggers’ erroneous speculations, my own included. What came to mind was one of the bumps along the way that I found myself writing about in the Comments on another blog. I wrote: […]

another reminder…

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the […]
