Some thoughts that in themselves don’t merit a full entry: * So, here’s the basic line coming out of the debate, so far as I can tell: George Bush neither drooled on himself nor shook like a palsied chimpanzee, and was actually reasonably composed, so he wins (and by “wins” we mean to say it’s […]

I Got Dem Cozmic Swing State Blues Again, Mama

Friends from California tell me that to judge from the campaign activities there, you’d hardly know there was a presidential election going on.

However, I’ll be watching the debates later today (probably) and any comments I have I’ll make then. Of course, it’s not as if […]
