Opinion:

The return of the Bull Moose...

    By Jack Grant

Marshall Wittmann, a former aide to Senator John McCain and self-described "Bull Moose", has written an article that describes reasonably well my view of the current Bush administration. Coming from a former Republican staffer, hopefully what he says will have some credibility among those of you who read me and wonder why I'm not an overwhelming supporter of President George W. Bush. I won't quote from it to instead encourage you to read the entire article, please. He makes several very good points.

And with that said, no more politics for a while... I read something today that reminded me that there are many more important things in life, such as appreciating the quirks:

It's high time I get back to living life to the fullest and let the rumor mongers and gotcha-brigades go play their childish games without any further admonitions from me to join the adult world.

We don't handle randomness well.

Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Wahabism must be destroyed.
