New Year&#8217;s came and went without me writing a blog post. I was preoccupied with other things at the time, as detailed to some extent in my last couple of entries bookending my computer headaches. But I did make some observations that I think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday was Barack Obama&#8217;s 100th day in office. Everyone else has been talking about it. Why not me?
A hundred days is a pretty arbitrary number, of course. But ever since FDR used it as a marker in 1933 for taking quick action against the Depression, it&#8217;s been a convenient hook on which to hang stories [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;re finally done with him! Bush is out of here! The sunovabitch is gone, done, finished, he&#8217;s through, he&#8217;s hitting the road, he will darken our horizons no more.
Good riddance.
And if no other punishment is forthcoming for what he&#8217;s done to this country&#8230; may he be cursed with self-awareness.]]></description>

Co-authors Stuart Taylor Jr. and Evan Thomas—both award-winning, Ivy League-educated journalists who move in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In crisis lies creative potential.
If there&#8217;s any silver lining in the cascade of crises facing the country (and the world) right now, it&#8217;s in how they lay the groundwork (pardon the mixed metaphor) for the incoming Obama administration to pursue policy solutions that would otherwise have been impossible. There are good, serious ideas out there [...]]]></description>

We are seven days away from a momentous change in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regarding Oliver Stone&#8217;s much-publicized new film, one would be hard-pressed to improve on Chicago Reader critic J.R. Jones&#8217;s succinct take:  W. &#8220;follows George W. Bush (Josh Brolin) from his youth as a spoiled, oblivious fuckup to his maturity as a spoiled, oblivious fuckup.&#8221;
So in case anyone was hoping (or fearing) this film would offer Bush [...]]]></description>

US prepared to accept reconciliation with Taliban
The United States Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the Bush administration would be prepared to reconcile with the Taliban if the Afghan government pursued talks to end the war.
However, he says there&#8217;s no chance of any negotiations with Osama Bin Laden&#8217;s al Qaeda organisation.
Mr Gates says reconciliation [...]]]></description>

Well, he went to the high-profile meeting he&#8217;d insisted that Bush call, at which&#8230;

Better late than never in terms of talking to the public, I suppose, but I think it goes without saying that whatever he has to offer might just as well go without saying.
