Monday

Good to see that W's folks are worried enough that they've begun the mudslinging and flag-waving... and that it's not (yet) working well for them.

And that The Economist quoted the American Queen Mother as saying something along the lines of, "It's starting to feel like I've seen this movie before."

(What a blogging faux pas, I know: electing to cite what I remember rather than rummaging around the piles of stuff to find the exact quote!)

Disappointing that the Washington Post, of all papers, should have wagged its editorial finger at the Spanish electorate for having thrown out a government caught lying to its people one too many times about the whys and whos of violence. As if the refusal ever even to SEEM to give Terror a victory were more important than getting the "You misheard us! We never said it was ETA. We said [Al-Qa]eda!" folks out of office. Is a nation really to be expected to vote back into power a group that lies to the public about who might have attacked them? What's next, leading them into a war for fabricated reasons?

Hmm...

But best of all to see this past weekend, as Spring arrived, the pics (of the mass itself and of the faces comprising the mass) of the more than 1M people out in the streets of Rome for peace and against terrorism.

As it turns out, these folks marching past the ruins of the Forum remind us, it's possible to be against terrorism AND against empire.
