It is our understanding that when
a hot political story is apt to stick around,
conventional wisdom is quick to chorus that the
story "has legs." The Chicago son
took this to heart and happily searched for
appropriate art to help illustrate his moderate
rants about this election cycle. You won't
mistake this stuff for Lippman, but it's worth a
look. Remember it's more box score than
soapbox, so keep your head in the center and Spam
to yourself...links below.
| We tend to
forget that no matter how old,civil, and
insightful our written Constitution, this
is a young nation: still the wild,
wild, west. Citizens view
politicians as little better than
ideological rustlers, controlled by big
moneyed barons, and what D.C. really
stands for is Dodge City. Most
thoughtful voters think it's a rigged
town, and they want someone in charge who
knows the fix is in,understands the
rules, and can Wyatt Earp the riffraff
and rich folk when the cards get too
stacked one way or the other. |
The G.O.P was
lookin' to get real fat this general
election. Ready to carve up what
they considered to be a turkey of an
administration, they let that bird get
cold while they gobbled at each other
during the primaries. In the end it
was decided by those at the head table,
in typical Republican fashion, that it
was Bob Dole's turn to feast. He's
a good man, but a bad cook, who didn't
know when to use his utensils; and
his taste in campaigning is as
imaginative as a Thanksgiving dinner
menu. |
