An arm with a tattoo: "I was made for the library, not the classroom."

[A PS: to the whole Hussein thing, from a comment I posted elsewhere, re: admitting his capture (and overall downfall) was a good thing.] Saddam=bad. No question. I doubt there are many that would argue that point. I don't believe in the ends justifying the means, though, especially when those means equal 456 dead Americans and counting. Having served in the Army (active and National Guard) for 8 1/2 years, I don't take lightly the realities of military life nor the gutless whims of those who've never served but would casually send others to their deaths. Every one of those…

An arm with a tattoo: "I was made for the library, not the classroom."

So they captured Hussein. Congratulations to the soldiers for a job well done but, in the big picture, all I can say is big whoop. The reality is that his capture will have little effect on the ongoing guerilla war in Iraq that has seen 317 American soldiers die since Bush declared an end to major combat back on May 1st. MAY 1st! That's 7 1/2 months of...minor (?) combat following the "war" that apparently lasted only 5 weeks! Fun with semantics, brought to you by the most illiterate President in our history. And all the analysts and pundits that…

Just like that, Andy Pettitte is now one of my favorite baseball players! Takes a lot to turn down the money and prestige that comes with being a Yankee, taking significantly less money to play closer to home and family. Surely he saw the writing on the wall that says the Yankees' better days are in the past but that doesn't lessen the integrity of his decision. You taking notes, A-Rod? Some Yankee fans are complaining that he never intended to stay in NY, that he had one foot out the door at the end of the season, as if…

Has Dean Peaked?

For all those ready to coronate Dean on the basis of his poll numbers in TWO small states that have been the center of attention, a look at the National numbers should be rather sobering: Quinnipiac University Poll. (Dec. 4-8, 2003) "Suppose the general election for president were being held today, and the candidates were [see below] the Democrat, and George W. Bush the Republican, for whom would you vote?" Bush: 50% / Clark: 41% / Don't Know: 6% Bush: 51% / Dean: 40% / Don't Know: 5% Bush: 51% / Lieberman: 40% / Don't Know: 5% Bush: 51% /…

Kucinich, Sharpton Shine in Debate

Rushed home last night after an amazing Acentos (Alixa and Naima absolutely blew me away with a provocative and political performance piece that went way beyond simple poetry!) and some interesting political discussions to catch Niteline's airing of highlights from the debate in New Hampshire. From the news reports I've read this morning, and the transcript itself, they cut out some interesting moments to squeeze the 90 minute event into Niteline's 60 minute (minus commercials) time slot. Overall, despite Ted Koppell being a terrible moderator, I was pleased to see Kucinich given as much air time as he was. More…
