kinsley strikes again
Dubya's Dividend Delight By Michael Kinsley
Bush, in a funny way, seems to be a man of ideas. He doesn't have a lot of them himself, but hand him one and he'll run with it, undeterred by opposition, or by subsequent evidence and logic. He has the unreflective person's immunity from irony, that great killer of intellectual passion.

bhairava lays it down on republicans and race.
"It's always heart warming when right wingers who normally deride situation ethics and moral relativism, and the like embrace them strongly on issues of civil rights"
Wow! It's not that often that I'll feel the need to link to a comment on a blog, but this one slays.

Just a prediction for political punditry at the end of 2003/beginning of 2004...
There will be bloggers or editorial journalists making the inevitable metaphorical allegory to Return of the King, comparing Aragorn to some political figure. Conservative opinion is most likely to be swayed towards these metaphors, and there may be "Rumsfeld is to Gandalf what Saruman is to Hussein" silliness. Man, you can see these things coming a mile off if you just look a bit. Remember, you heard it here first...

Happy New Year
Upon reflection, I've decided that the world has more than enough negativity to go around without needing to contribute more myself. Therefore, I've taken the post down in which I was intensely harsh (fairly probably, but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do) on some friends of the family.
The funny thing, my feelings were somewhat justified yesterday with a visit from the GDs, but it's a brand new year, and it's time to forgive and forget.
Happy New Year!
