how bout a summary of this sad old decade, fred?
It's flattering to be asked, so thanks, it indicates confidence, or something. But I read those kinds of pieces, and some of them are written so very much better than I could ever do. I've read Christopher Hitchens, and I'm no Christopher Hitchens.
I try to limit my socio-political ruminations to situations where I think I see a connection that has not been made, things like that, which can be described briefly and may be helpful to people.
Unless I feel motivated to scream about Microsoft, or Glenn Beck, those are just for me, to get it off my chest, to cast my vote.
