I just celebrated my birthday with a day trip to the Shenadoah Valley, here in Virginia. The excuse was the Green valley Book Fair that I would not miss for anything, although my acquisition of new books is way ahead of my reading them all...
The fall colors have started in their gorgeous splendor.
While I was in full contemplation, an Amish village in Pennsylvannia, was quietly burying 5 little girls, murdered by a deranged man with an easy access to murderous weapons. If we wanted a proof of who is really backwards, the grieving Amish invited the murderer's widow and forgave her husband.
In the surreal world, Republican operatives are trying to blame the scandal of one of their own's pedophile activities on their Democratic opponents.
The country will be far better off when it is cleansed of lying, power hungry politicians who would rather endanger pages entrusted to their care than losing power and privileges. RAUS!
Last week, I had the privilege of attending the Library of Congress' Book fair. The line for a signature by Bob Woodward on his book "Denial" was a mile long.
Frankly, none of his revelations are earth shattering to those of us, regular observers, who knew from day one that the illegal invasion of Iraq was based on false assertions and condemned to catastrophic failure.
I welcome Woodward's late conversion to the new conventional wisdom. His book, the latest NIE, Chairman Warner's pessimistic evaluation of the misadventure im Iraq, and the latest Foley scandal, might finally open the door to a long list of hearings that will advance the truth.
