Yesterday, I heard that The Decider was staged to become The Author. That’s right. George is writing a book. And it’s not just the rambling, seemingly unabridged thing we’ve gotten from huge political figures recently. This book has a theme: the twelve difficult personal and political decisions he has made in his life. Really, George? [...]

If you generally avoid liberally-minded photos, read anyway: mine are wildly entertaining. —– Where have I been for the last 4 days? Where have you been? Oh, right.

an apology (postdated 01.24.09). We are really, really sorry. It’s not you; it’s us. See, it all started early in 2000. We fell asleep, let our system of government be appropriated and yadda, yadda, yadda, we woke up bruised and confused. It wasn’t until about a year ago that we realized what we’d done. We [...]
