While you were away
I looked in at Calpundit's site. Yesterday he posted a series of topics that represented serious challenges to the intellectual underpinnings of the Conservative movement's choices. I haven't gotten to the comments yet.
Today's post, though, is titled "Depressed"
No more blogging today. No more news, no more TV, no more Republicans telling me that the only way for my country to prosper is to give ever more to the rich and ever less to the poor, to starve any government program that dares to help education, healthcare, the needy, or the elderly, and to base our role in the world solely on a mirage of military dominance so breathtakingly misguided that it would make Julius Ceasar himself choke on his porridge. What is it that drives otherwise sane people to believe that these are the things that will make America great in the 21st century?
Maybe I'll be back tomorrow. Maybe not. In either case, have a nice Memorial Day.
Then there's Oliver Willis. Seems I've been banned from commenting on his blog because what I wrote here I entered as a comment to the post I quoted. His right, but it surprises me a bit given his recent "no more Mr. Nice Leftist" rhetoric. Perhaps the tone of the comment was harsher than the atmosphere he wants to maintain. Or I may be wrong, maybe it's a technical problem.
