Last year, around this time, we had a pretty bad week.
NO FRONT DOOR FOR DR. WRIGHT
The great American Freak Show gobbled up the Reverand Wright today, as everyone breathed a sigh of relief - some say great moral relief - that we could all participate in "denouncing" and sending up a man who probably would never have made the Great National Conversation, except for some wildly edited clips used in a concerted smear-by-association campaign. No one, Left or Right, even believes Obama subscribes to Wright's perspectives. Still, whatever public space we have, just wasn't large enough for Wright.
We have the likes of Lanny Davis, continuing to offer up his own and his overlord's "private opinion" on ... well, the first place you'd think to voice your private opinions, on National Television. What a disgusting formulation. Keep your private opinions, private, yes?
"WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS EVERY DAY IN AFGHANISTAN-RUMSFELD"

It is revealed that, after more than five years of effort and a plan that goes out for probably another five to ten, the State Department has only a few native speakers, still.
ADDINGTON: CHENEY AND I ARE PART OF THE KING BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT
