The jokes just keep coming / what's really important
OK, so I'm no political guru but I try to stay on top of what's going on. The best political blog I know of is TalkingPointsMemo.com. Josh Mashall leans pretty much where I do, and he's great at packaging the bullstein coming out of the media outlets into a smaller, manageable package.
Apparently today there's a controversy over what John Kerry pulled from his pocket during the debate. What a joke... We knew that no matter what happened, ATPM would try to spin the whole debate as a Bush victory. So, when faced with what was clearly a loss, they're scrambling in any way possible to salvage their positions. Paul Krugman's article right before the debate (registration required...harmless) is worth a re-read, for its prescience and for what he might have overlooked, in terms of the internet banter.
The fact is that it doesn't matter what happened during the debate. The last 3 1/2 years of what's gone on in the world and this country is enough for any reasonable person to know that unless whatever JFK grabbed from his pocket had the locations of the missing WMD from Iraq, it's irrelevant.
Mark Fiore's political cartoons are always good at putting these events in their place.
Ok, back to the piano lessons....
