I apologize for the belated entry. I've spent the past week thinking things over in my mind. I did not know what I wanted to say. I wanted to be positive, but not idealistic. I wanted to be realistic without being pessimistic. I hope that I have achieved this. Again, I apologize for my slow response to the election. Please feel free to leave ( Read more... )

Now is the winter of our discontent. After 4 years of regressive Neo-conservative rule, liberals across America looked at John Kerry as a beacon of light for liberal America.

Tomorrow is a pivotal day in this country's history. Not only will it determine the course we will take for the next 4 years, but it'll determine the course of this weblog. I will, and I promise to, have a response to the election up by Wednesday night. Make sure you vote tomorrow, even if you're voting for Bush.

Thank you and I apologize again.

The need for international cooperation was never more clear in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. In a world were terrorism was becoming more and more of a global ( Read more... )

I want to comment on Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announcing that some parts of Iraq may not be able to participate in voting in the January elections. I understand where the administration is coming from with this. It would seem to be very difficult to have safe elections in areas where violence is becoming worse and worse. The safety of the ( Read more... )

Welcome to anyone who reads this. I'm going to warn you now, though, that what I have to say is very political. I am a liberal, and I may offend you with some of my thoughts and beliefs. I am a patriotic American, and what I have to say is what I think is best for the country. If you agree, thats great, I hope you do. If you don't, that's good too ( Read more... )
