For once, the NPR reporter tossed soft-ball after soft-ball, and Galloway hit them all out of the park. More grit than I’ve heard on the program in a very long time.

Galloway’s glasses are anything but rose colored: The column is scary stuff.

Hey how about that. I hit the preview button and the links work. Way to go code persons. :-)

I’d like to see Rove defending himself on that show, or any of the others, just as Murtha is asked to do.

Of course the Turdflower will claim he can’t comment on anything of substance, and Russert wouldn’t ask Turdlilly anything difficult.

Yesterday, just for a break from the depressing scene, my partner and I went to see Prairie Home Companion. Nice, well-made, feel-good flick, but not great.

I thought about the huge number of comedies and musicals made during the Depression and WWII, and hoped that we can expect as many during our time because there isn’t any relief on the horizon—unless we can take back the House and Senate with representatives who have steel spines.
