Convoluted Thinking

I've been buried in "real life" obligations this week and haven't been able to stay on top of my regular reading routine.  That's my way of apologizing for the relatively sparse posts this week.  And a "heads up" that it won't likely be much better over the holiday weekend.  That, in turn, is followed by a business trip that runs the rest of next week.  So, keep checking back. I'll do what I can to keep something moving. Heck, I haven't even had time to really watch "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" and that is usually "must see TV" around our place.  It's been so crazy that I even turned down the invitation to do the nightly "review" of  Countdown for the anti-Olbermann crowd over at OlbermannWatch!  That would have been fun!  And, I promise to, at least, get a fresh column posted online over there to give the anti-KO crowd something to holler about this weekend.  To make sure you get the latest, just click the RSS subscription link over in the column on the right side of the page...In the meantime, off to the races with a couple of posts analyzing the President's news conference Thursday...

Thank You Mr. President



President Bush’s press conference was an opportunity for him to address issues that are deeply troubling the country and to explain himself in light of dismal job approval ratings, record high opposition to his Iraq policies and major concerns about the integrity of the Justice Department. But the non-answers he gave to reporters’ questions [...]
