O.M.G.--They stomped The Shrub!

When W told me the NY Times had endorsed Kerry strongly, I was not really surprised. I think of the NY Times as a moderate rag, trying to be neutral in most articles I read--especially after the editorial scandals of the past few years. But I don't read them regularly, so that may be a totally false impression. I didn't think they could in good conscience either endorse Bush or sit out the campaign as neutral.

I didn't expect them to throw a punch at The Shrub and follow it up with emptying an M-16 into him....

Not that everything they said isn't correct...to our sorrow.

You think that's good, read this

It's one of the magazine articles, so it's long. But it's worth it.

Unfortunately, it also makes me fear that Bush will be reelected.

What makes Bush's presidency so radical — even to some
Republicans — is his preternatural, faith-infused certainty
in uncertain times.

Oh, dear God, kaygo, I saw this late last night and sat up an hour before deciding I would send the link to as many people as I could. I find this terrifying in a way that nothing they've done before scares me.

And I'm divorced from one of those "drip drip drip" sort of destroyers. When you isolate one incident, it doesn't seem earth-shattering, but when you put them all together, you are appalled.

That's why I put the "appalled" sticker on my car window.

I'll be posting this soon--
