Bless the children. But for God's sake, don't over-trust them with real responsibility. Kristol makes the case that House Democrats didn't make the transition from opposition to governing party very well. For all of Bill Clinton's faults, during his tenure, he and the DNC actually did represent the adult wing of today's Democrat Party. And that was bad enough.
Browsing through a used-book store Friday — in the Milwaukee airport, of all places — I came across a 1981 paperback collection of George Orwell’s essays. That’s how I happened to reread his 1942 essay on Rudyard Kipling. Given Orwell’s perpetual ability to elucidate, one shouldn’t be surprised that its argument would shed light— or so it seems to me — on contemporary American politics.
I'm not sure what's more frightening: the potential for naivete inside an Obama, or the fact that skilled political operators like the Clintons haven't been able to expose his inexperience because of the childlike nature of Democrat politics. Let's hope that doesn't hold up across the electorate should Obama gain the Democrat nomination.
Carter seemed to be an innocent enough daydream of a President when he happened along and just look how much damage he managed to do in four short years.
tk you smacked that nail on the head

Now, I'm off to a basketball game, so do to me as you wish. I'll either be back later tonight, or I'll talk to you tomorrow. Adios.
