Why I'm not voting for Bush, part 1. (2004/10/06)
I posted this in a thread on CF about the handling of the people being kept by the U. S. Government in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. My correspondent is another member of the Republican politics forum. This is from an ongoing conversation, so the context is a bit sketchy, but I think everyone’s familiar with the basic situation: Lots of people being kept as prisoners, with no trials, no charges, no lawyers. And, I might point out, we’ve already had court rulings saying this is wrong.

My spouse is a wonderful artist. He can draw a person well enough that you can tell how often he works out, and what exercises he skimps on.

Originally, “let’s just drive straight through” was a joke.
[read more...]A practical observation. (2004/09/19)
When an editor asks if 1:51AM Sunday morning is “an okay time to call” and wants to know whether you can have a two thousand word article done “by Monday”… That is a good sign that the answer to one of life’s pressing dilemmas is “you can pay both the mortgage and your health coverage, after all”.

So, my friend Kevin said, as we were leaving the coffee shop, that this year we have a choice between a liar and an incompetent. I like that description, because it’s perfectly ambiguous.
