Continuing Saga of the Ugly American

February 24th, 2006 · 1 Comment

A new blog — the link for which was sent to me by Steve Malm — calls itself “Real Clear Politics.” I’m not sure what the name is supposed to mean. Are there tons of blogs out there with unclear politics or something? Anyway, one of the articles I read this morning said: It’s hard […]

The Uniter: Us v. Them

April 13th, 2004 · No Comments

There’s not time for a long blog entry this morning. (Please, stop! The cheering hurts my ears.) President Bush, who promised that he was going to be a “uniter, not a divider,” is succeeding at this beyond my wildest dreams.
