Off the Air
Circumstance spares you, gentle reader, from my lengthy rants
this week. I'm finishing a chapter for an upcoming O'Reilly book on emerging
democracy, and doing some actual work to assist the separate but friendly
efforts at DeanForAmerica and ChangeForAmerica to
ensure that the spark ignited last year is not extinguished by the water
pail which the advantaged class keeps handy for populist
emergencies.
Meanwhile, here's a quote from the cover
story of the current issue of American
Conservative magazine:
The tendency to hate, really hate, opposing politicians surely is
not good for American democracy. It is not rational to hate George W. Bush,
just as it was not rational to hate Bill Clinton. But after spending eight
years hating Clinton, conservatives who complain about the Bush-haters
appear to be hypocrites.
George W. Bush enjoys neither royal nor religious
status that would place him beyond criticism. Whether or not he is a
real conservative, he is no friend of
limited, constitutional government. And for that the American people should
be very, very angry.
I'll get back to overloading your RSS feed next week. Of course
my hiatus may be evidence that I have nothing to say when Doc is out
of the country, feeding me material...
