Greg’s been on fire this week, reporting on outrageous political news from all over, including:
- Norm Coleman, the Republican senator elected to replace Paul Wellstone, dissing the late Democrat: “To be very blunt and God watch over Paul’s soul, I am a 99 percent improvement over Paul Wellstone”…
- Putting the war in Iraq in its proper context: “it was never the first three weeks, or three months, that worried me. It was the first three years of discovering festering, unintended consequences of conquest—or, God help us, the first three decades”…
- and my favorite of this week, providing eyewitness testimony to the filibuster of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus to block further efforts at bringing Confederate symbolism back to the Georgia state flag, effectively killing the legislation: “Payback’s a mother, ain’t it?”
Anyway. Work has gotten hellish and my own blogging is falling off, but Greg is burning up. So go read.
