H2

Every morning when I drive to work, I pass an bright yellow H2. It is parked, in the driveway. The owner’s brand new house and garage do not accomodate the size of his new vehicle. In the winter when I passed this vehicle, everyday, exhaust billowed out of the tailpipe as the owner warmed it […]

The Tease

Happy hour with George and Dick The president did not mention, but we will remind everyone, that the White House historically has made the commission’s work more difficult. Indeed, if it was up to the White House, the panel would not even exist. The White House opposed the creation of the 9/11 commission in the […]

O Canada!

AlterNet: O Canada; Oy Vey United States The U.S. and Canada share a common border and much else. We are alike ethnically and economically. We eat the same foods. We watch the same movies. We speak the same language. But we think and act differently. And this difference has become more and more evident in […]
