We will, however, do our best to avoid exposing him to material unsuitable for impressionable young minds -- except, of course, for Moose's ongoing tutorial with the lad in some of the more colorful Anglo-Saxonisms.

War, great-recession tragedies and rape? Sigh. Couldn't this have waited until AFTER grades were turned in and we had the optimism of the final week of the year? Last week after clicking on your links to Historiann's blog and reading her comments about reviews and encyclopedia entries, I was depressed and discouraged about academic work, now the whole world sucks.

For the first time in their political lives, the moms are so disgusted with the gutless compromises that the Democrats offer as leadership that they are considering opting out.<br /><br />Still, it is not at all that we dislike criticism of Clinton, at least not when it is serious and fair (which much of what we heard in the primary was not). It's just that Obama WON. He is the boss, and this is the path he has chosen to take. And those among his followers who demonized Clinton and insisted he really was some radically different and better alternative are freaking out. If that seal of his is dripping blood, it's on their hands.Roxie Smith Lindemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455529922082930949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-45421380101926221412009-12-04T13:25:18.982-05:002009-12-04T13:25:18.982-05:00Okay, you dislike criticism of that other Dem cand...Okay, you dislike criticism of that other Dem candidate for prez, but we do know she was fighting for the even larger number for this surge. We do know that she and Biden had big arguments about it. We know that Gates, the Sec. of State and Obama are now on the same page here. We also know that the DLC represents a more hawkish wing of the Dem Party, and we also know that the Dems have a long history of destroying themselves by believing in strong social programs and lots of war and intervention.<br /><br />Trying to find non-hawks as presidential candidates for either party is like trying to find the social gospel among right wing evangelical christians. They all have their hands dirty. We need something new, Roxie, sometihng really new.<br /><br />I am so sad about Savory. Not great food, but such a refuge for a good cup of coffee and watching Takoma Park go by.<br /><br />The world is shifting all around us. Be strong. This is the rest of our lives.<br /><br />You are an amazing dog, ol' Roxie.Margaret Swedishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122528070296887747noreply@blogger.com
