From the Frayed Flag Desk
Okie dokie . The small (undetected) plane that accidentally crashed into a building on the upper east side of Manhattan yesterday, reminds us just how vulnerable we are, and will be, as long as we continue to bait "our enemies" like dumb cluck cowboys. Corey Lidle has not died in vain. He has shattered the myth of false safety perpetrated by George W. Bush. Soccer moms take note.
But all is not well in neoconservative circles. Of course there's all the Foleydaral fallout, but some big GOP donors have just had a taste of the consequences of privacy erosion, the Wall Street Journal has begun to worry about Bush's grasp of poker hands and foreign policy, and another "betrayal' book is on its way. Thank God Keith Olbermann is still alive to review it.
But enough gloating for one morning. How do we, as a nation, move forward in a more positive way? Merrill Markoe has some wonderfully articulated ideas about resolving the nuclear crisis in North Korea.
Got alot more time? Check out the new satirical G-novel Shooting War whichh takes place in the year 2010. Of course I liked it because the protagonist is a left wing video blogger. Video blogging seems to be the wave of the future. That gives me a couplle of years to shape up or learn a new technology-- I simply can't do both and keep my day job.
Photo note: Our dear flag hanging upside down by a shred, with a dismembered stripe blowing in the breeze
