Dean Fires Back Howard Dean has an op-ed in this morning's Washington Post, responding to a hawkish editorial from a few days ago. ...we must rebuild our alliances, badly damaged by the current administration. Every president since World War II, until now, has worked effectively with our allies and partners, because each believed this was the best way to safeguard security. Established alliances, which train and plan together over decades, are better at waging combat and building peace than makeshift coalitions of the willing. 10:39:02 AM    comment [] Saturday Blahs As a so-called "day of leisure," Saturday is a perennial letdown. The options! The deferred hobbies, the book left unread all week! Ugh, but there's also the empty fridge, the unvacuumed stairs, the five bills awaiting attention, the last-minute Christmas shopping. Saturday is anything but leisurely. It's the spillover day for tasks that couldn't be done on all the other days. The only thing leisurely about it is the torpor that comes from sleeping in. It's nearly 1 am and I'm still awake, trying to figure out what I wanted to do with this Saturday and if any of it can be salvaged. On Sundays there's a little edge, time's winged chariot etc. Does wonders. 12:51:20 AM    comment []
