Let’s sincerely hope it’s not the same predictor as President Bush’s redux-2001, inaugural address…!

We truly can’t afford either literally or figuratively, any more of his, “prosperity and peace”…!

In their case, the word “pimping” truly applies.</p> Our access to all of this is admittedly fragile.

Work for peace, every day.

Shortly before he disappeared into the night, Wesley Clark demanded that the beginnings of the war on Iraq be dug up and found and publicly explored and explained before they got buried too deep. It is a good idea. Let’s have televised exploratory hearings. Let them be vast and let them last years and let them begin now.

It is an important idea, and now that the Government has admitted to torture, let’s also begin as well hearings and investigations into these and possibly other American war crimes. Not to get all judgmental, but for myself, I’d like to see something a little less touchy-feely than the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Something more widespread. Something more akin to the McCarthy Hearings.

Checked in there earlier today and found the best analysis (or, at least the one closest to my own views on the subject *g*) of the MSNBC/Schuster brouhaha.

Very good. Thanks.
