Quote of The Day
"I watched the cranes scoop up soil from the pit, and then I grasped that it
was not soil. There was no soil in this place. What they were moving was the
substance that was formed out of the dissolution of everything and everybody
that had been crushed and incinerated: a deathloam. There were spots of it on
my boots. I shivered and moved away. And when I left it was not culture that
was restored immediately to my consciousness. It was politics; policy;
American action."
--Leon Wieseltier in The New Republic on visiting Ground Zero."
But Seriously, Folks: Only the New York Times and Senator John Kerry
(between bites of fig mousse, no doubt) need tell us that Hillary is now
being taken seriously as a New Yorker. Seems
her visit to
Ground Zero did it.
.Everyone from Big Bird to Don King has been to Ground Zero. That's not what
does it.
The Usual Suspects: Scroll down in
Howard Kurtz' column this morning for a
tidy list of the "Quagmirists" and Cheney's right to give them the frozen
flounder. Other than leveling the landscape, bombing seems to have an added
and obvious effect. It scares the living daylights plus the will to fight
out
of the enemy.
And, for more of the Quagmire Chronicles check out
John Leo's excellent
column here:
Little Things Mean A Lot: The Washington Times reports that the
gentlemen
who "liberated" one of Osama bin Laden's abandoned homes in Jalalabad found
a
discarded supply of birth control pills in the dust.
The guy has twenty kids.
Guess that tells us something.
Red Crossed and Red Handed: If you were annoyed with the Red Cross
before,
wait until you read this Washington Post
front page piece on their
shenanigans .
If your undonated blood hasn't reached the boiling point after that try this
piece from CNS on where a lot of the rest of the money is going. Like
the man
said, "In chaos there is opportunity. We just didn't expect it from these
quarters.
O'Reilly All Ears? Looks like an interesting situation is developing
in
media-land with Drudge's report that
Bill O'Reilly is lusting for radio air
time - opposite Rush Limbaugh in many markets - to generally jump ugly.
If
what he's done to take Jesse Jackson and the 9-11 charities to task is an
indication of what his radio show would do, we say - have at it. There are
ways to hear both. But, watch the liberal knickers twisting as they try to
spin this one.
