I'm Russian and Ukrainian. We have a rather different outlook on life. I joke about it, calling it, "Waiting for the German's." Some poeple look at a glass as half-full. Others, half-empty. I look at the glass and say, "Hey, who drank half of my vodka?!?" How about "gut and release?" I could live with that. Or, is that torure? I guess it is... Too bad!

I believe there will be significant change, which will mean food shortages, beach front property being created, new challenges, etc. Not all doom and gloom, but I could be wrong. BTW, most fishermen down here subscribe to "fillet and release". c u n d g,

My anger that these articles were never front page and received only passing comments by the usual pundits turned into a resignation that this issue, along with so many others, was to be relegated to the history books for others to pass judgment on. With a defeatist attitude, I just count the days until January 20, 2009 and pray that these morons aren't afforded any more opportunities to create more catastrophic blunders. However, with all the recent rumblings regarding Iran, and after reading the complete Esquire article, I am once again filled with dread. Let's hope those that consider themselves journalists do their jobs this time around or let them take their rightful place next to the anti-christs who are the senior members of this administration.

Just based on <a href="http://www.mahablog.com/2007/10/26/naomi-wolf-on-the-end-of-america/" rel="nofollow">the video before this posting - which featured her lecturing on "End of America" at U of Washington</a> - everything she said made lots of sense to me, as it's based on direct historic parallel. She filled in a lot of gaps in my thinking on the subject. And so I don't get your question about objective position, etc. montag #4, Occupation: Fireman.

I have watched just about all of the Wolf pieces on Youtube and I don't know whether to shit or go blind. How can one assess what she says from a more objective position, or is SHE the objective position? I guess if another election manages to just--slip out of our hands, then we'll know that vast right wing conspiracies are alive and well--and then I will have to start thinking about the WTC in a different light. And as far as Hillary--Just Say No to Dynasty! I found this article earlier this week and was pretty hopped up about it until you posted the Naomi Wolf piece.

I can't figure out if they are just paranoid to the extreme, march to orders from "the lobby", or are wrapped up in the end of times hocus pocus. Perhaps a combination of all three. I hope we get through Bush's term without the war widening, but the Kurds are about to get an ass-whuppin' from the Turks which will not bode well for our PKK minions operating in Iran. When Hillary is sworn in and she starts giving speeches at the AEI I'll know it's time to seek greener hills.... Bat-shit crazy bastards just want war.
