W is for War

Larry Beinhart says we should just “Give George Bush His War”

George Bush wants the war. He wants it to be his issue. Yes. Yes, please, let him have it. Let it be all his. But it has to be all his. I heard Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on the radio and he said that it was time

Chef Moz

Dmoz is just the greatest thing on the web; if you like Wikipedia, you will love the Open Directory Project!

Our Daily Bread

Another beautiful essay entitled “Pass the Bread” from Bill Moyers, in which he continues to try to explain America to himself, and to us.
