…Boots. But let’s have a word from someone who doesn’t do the old One-Two Goosestep March. “Wouldn’t it be nice if just once, on some issue, the Bush administration came up with a plan that didn’t involve weakened environmental protection, financial breaks for wealthy individuals and corporations and reduced public oversight?” — Paul Krugman A […]

Denial
December 27th, 2004 · No Comments
Seems to me like it’s getting a little harder to deny there was something funky about this election. Is it possible that we’ll see another Republican President tread the path previously hewn out of the political jungle by Richard Nixon and his Watergate plumbers?

Values

If my last post didn’t convince you on the “values” issue — and I wouldn’t be surprised, because I didn’t explicitly bring that to your attention — Donkey Rising’s post, The “Values Voters” Debate Continues should be an interesting read.

There’s been some talk about the possibility that this election was stolen by the Bush Administration. Many people don’t believe it. Others think it’s impossible even if the Administration wanted to do it.

Does It Count Matter?
December 7th, 2004 · 2 Comments
You know what really surprises me about this? The fact that people out there think that it doesn’t matter, but that their vote still counted for something just because they happen to agree with the people who did decide who would be President. What happens when they disagree with you folks?

Why Bush? An Across-the-Sea Perspective
November 8th, 2004 · No Comments
It’s interesting to see what other parts of the world say about our election. The Bush presidency has had a unifying effect on Europe: he’s a hate-figure to rally around. With ten new countries in the Union, and the new European Constitution just agreed, but not yet ratified, we’re going to need all the unity […]

Post Election Blues
November 4th, 2004 · 7 Comments
My friends have been asking how I feel. I’m still somewhat in shock. Tuesday, I allowed myself to be exuberant over exit polls showing a very ugly day for Bush. Frankly, I have more faith in exit polling than in electronic voting machines. But for the moment, let’s make a stretch and postulate that the […]

A Pox on Both Houses
November 1st, 2004 · 2 Comments
Many people agree with me that this election is a matter of electing “the lesser of two evils” and not so much about electing the right man for the job. Many, however, do not; they mistakenly believe that electing the greater evil is electing the right man for the job. In this article, I’m going […]

Not Stupid
November 1st, 2004 · No Comments
No one has ever called Osama bin Forgotten stupid. And as much as we dislike him and his policies, Bush isn’t stupid, either. That’s shown by the fact that he’s made sure that, until now, Osama had bin Forgotten. Bush — and his family — have proven time and again that they don’t care how […]
