"We'd all like to vote for the best man, but he's never been a candidate."
- Frank "Kin" Hubbard (1868-1932), American humorist
I'll be in the Tar Heel State for the next few days visiting with some old friends. While I'm away, here are some articles I've read recently that may be of interest to you:
Alan Bromley's "Fear and Loathing in Manhattan" talks about how hatred and revenge is motivating some of the potential voters in this year's presidential election.Janet Daley of London's Daily Telegraph talks about sincerity as it applies to politics and politicians. While her focus is on British politicians she closes with a comment on the Americans.
American soldier Austin Bay has returned from Iraq and makes some observations about what is going on over there and what he feels we must do as we go forward.
At InstaPundit, Glenn Reynolds opines about the latest round of accusations regarding Bush's military record that are flying around cyberspace. He links to several other pundits who have researched this story and written about it on their weblogs. A worthwhile read.

Thanks for the info. Hope you have a great trip to the "Tar Hell" State. Sometimes it really is.
You're absolutely right...but we're trying to get rid of John Edwards as fast as we can. Hopefully, after a thorough trouncing in the November election, he'll fade like a bad dream into the political cauldron never to be heard from again. We can always hope. A true Tar Heel....
