Just over a year ago, I finally grew back some fingers and began this blog in earnest.
The below-ground perspective somehow seems less skewed than it once was, but what a year it has been. Rove slithered his way out of the noose, only to be caught up in the CIA agent's petticoats, Katrina struck New Orleans and the administration's "devil take the hindmost" policies and outright incompetence were laid bare for all to see. We've "turned the corner" so many times that the country's spinning in circles like some type of whirling dervish. Ken Lay cheats the long arm of the law and the wheels of justice by croaking at his "vacation home" in Aspen. A quick visit to the Eternal City and its environs. Prodi snatches victory from the corrupt regime of Berlusconi. World War III appears to be starting in the holy land, much to the joy of the Evangelicals, who no doubt heap the Shrub with praise for bumbling his way toward the Apocalypse.
