Under The Marble Arch
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009
Philosopher's Corner

"With their memories of the sixties, when to be young was very heaven, they still believe that an oppositional stance in pursuit of perfection is virtuous in itself—indeed, is the prime or sole content of virtue. And it is this belief that renders them interesting to Hollander, for it makes genuine moral reflection about the nature of various governments and policies impossible. It transforms merely personal discontents into matters of supposedly great general importance."

-Theodore Dalrymple on Paul Hollander: The Only Superpower: Reflections on Strength, Weakness, and Anti-Americanism

Giddy with Anticipation

DateSunday, November 27, 2005 at 01:44PM

Just when you think things are getting a little dull, a bit routine, something happens.  At least that's true for those who follow politics.  We all know nature abhors a vacuum, but it is also true that politics and especially political egos, hate to see political opportunity go unexploited.  The real fun is when the ego in question seriously misjudges the depth and breadth of the opportunity.

dive2.jpgIt seems that Al Gore is eager to capitalize on the Katrina disaster.  No, he isn't going to rant endlessly about the slow response or the lack of preparedness or even pepper his public speeches with insinuations about plots and conspiracies and dynamite.  No; he's going to ride the Katrina storm surge into the 2008 presidential elections based on the now incontrovertible evidence that there is global warming.  Which, btw, is the worst problem facing the world today. 

I can hardly wait.   Pike, gainer, triple somersault with a twist, perfect vertical entry...into the shallow end of the pool.

I wonder if he'll put the Geek Squad on retainer for his campaign?
