Dazed And Confused? Lying Or Confused? We Report, You Decide



While stuff like this is all in good, clean fun, this isn't:



It's hard to know what to make of something like this. The supposed foreign policy expert on Iraq, the guy who knows how to win wars, appears here to be so wedded to the surge that he has experienced a Bush-like disconnect from the facts. And yet McCain claims that his presidency won't be a Bush third term. From here, it looks like it would be in the most frightening way: Not simply a continuation of the Administration's policies, but an extension of its denial of reality...

Not to be pusillanimous or anything, but I've always liked the semicolon...


The difficulty of voting is as certain as death and taxes. The New York Times explains why and what one group is doing about it...

Thanks for checking in, Steve. I'll have a New Orleans entry tomorrow that I think you'll like.

Steve's New Orleans Daily Photo (see the NOLA list for a link) is one of my favorite blogs.

A man whose interests include word origins and punctuation? A kindred spirit!

I see that you're reading Chris Rose. I sure do love him.

The comparison between Obama and McCain's approach to mental health was interesting for what it said and didn't. I found this comment particularly interesting:

After what McCain endured as a POW, he is certainly psychologically damaged by any measure. Apparently his unwillingness to look at that leads him to avoid discussion of the whole subject of mental health. That’s scary.
