Couple of things

- Everyone smile and make nice ... Athens-Clarke County commissioners meet with their state legislators and promise to not complain about each other too much. Noticeably absent is Ralph Hudgins, and I'm glad Alice Kinman called him out on it.

- Some folks think it's because we're a conservative country. Others think it's because we're moving toward the center and then to the left. I think the election results offer something different.

- Love him or hate him, but you can't say that E.H. Culpepper isn't a classy guy.

- Over at The Cover Two, The Realist and I engage in a pseudo-point/counterpoint kind of thing. I offer 'The Case For Rutgers', while he offers The Case Against Rutgers' ... it's like we're The McLaughlin Group.

- Jeff Emmanuel doesn't exactly say if he likes Donald Rumsfeld or not, but it's obvious his rationale - keeping the embattled Secretary of Defense around with President Bush to fight off criticism - shows he's more concerned with politics than, you know, actually properly executing the war.

- Well, the Red Sox won the Matsuzaka sweepstakes ... and I think that might be a good thing, but I really don't know.

- In something fairly interesting, Blake has a roundup of post-election concession/thank-you comments.

Yep, an Iraq military veteran does not care about actually winning the war. Maybe Jon Carry was right and he is just too dumb.

I'm sure you feel the same way about Tammy Duckworth and Paul Hackett then.

And, for what it's worth, don't criticize me for highlighting what he said ... which was that it was better to have Rumsfeld there to help Bush politically than bring in someone new to give us a new direction in the war.

Seems like your beef is with Emmanuel and not me.
