Howard Dean: The Mysterious Stranger
David Brooks from the NYTimes op/ed page describes how Howard Dean will be anything to anybody: *snip*But the liberated Dean is beyond categories like liberal and centrist because he is beyond coherence. He’ll make a string of outspoken comments over a period of weeks — on “re-regulating” the economy or gay marriage — but none [...]
Economy recovering ….
…and the Detroit Free Press notices … as well as the Las Vegas Sun. Gotta luv it!
More from the “We did the right thing” dept
A little more of what we who’ve REALLY been paying attention to what’s been going in Iraq already know: It’s a little-known footnote in postwar Iraq that an unassuming Army Civil Affairs captain named Kent Lindner has a bevy of blushing female fans. Every time Lindner checks in on the group of young, deaf Iraqi [...]
Iraqi culture “re-enters the world stage”
Most excellent. The Iraqi National Symphony performed for President Bush and a large audience Tuesday night, presenting another side of the nation whose image is shaped by daily reports of combat and death. ”I think the importance of our presence here is for the Americans to learn about the capabilities and all the resources that [...]
That’s what you get …
…. for not coming to the aid of the US in our hour of need: The Pentagon has formally barred companies from countries opposed to the Iraq war from bidding on $18.6 billion worth of reconstruction contracts. A directive from Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz limits bidders on those 26 contracts to firms from the [...]
Time to be a little skeptical of Dean’s tax claims?
Yep. *snip*But an examination of Dean’s record as Vermont’s governor has found that the bigger tax cut was in fact signed into law by his Republican predecessor, Richard Snelling. In 1991, Snelling signed legislation authorizing higher tax rates that would “sunset” two years later. Dean, then lieutenant governor, took over after Snelling died, and the [...]
The SLAP heard round the world
Was Gore’s endorsement of HoDean a slap in the face to Sen. Joe Lieberman? You betcha. Here’s my take on Gore’s endorsement, posted earlier at a political forum of which I am a member: I think the reasons Gore did this were 1) party unity. Gore represented the “establishment” and Dean campaigned as an “outsider” [...]
RIP, Sen. Paul Simon
I didn’t agree with his politics, but he was a good man. May God be with his family right now at this trying time.
Teenagers turning to conservatism?
Let’s hope! *snip*A brand new Gallup Organization study and another out of the University of California at Berkeley (search) found that teens are more likely to be in favor of government restrictions on abortion and prayer during official school activities. The findings mark a departure from the perception of teens as more progressive and liberal [...]
Culture clash on college campuses?
Say that three times fast! Christian Science Monitor takes a look at the “religious upsurge” taking place on college campuses: *snip*Religion on campus – particularly evangelical groups like this one – is thriving these days, but it doesn’t always find an easy home in the intellectual, secular world of higher education. For instance, Campus Crusade [...]
