Altercation adds it all up -- "Our president is..."
THE ADD PROBLEM

I agree with Stupid’s observation that the Democrats and Bush’s critics in the media suffer from attention-deficit disorder when it comes to this administration. But really, what is one supposed to do? Policies based almost exclusively on extremist ideology — either pro-business or pro-religious fundamentalist — and defended with dishonesty are the rule, not the exception. How to keep attention on every outrage at once, particularly in a country that is more interested in Kobe Bryant’s sex life than the threat of North Korea’s nukes? Nobody’s been able to figure this out, and that, alas, is part and parcel of the Bush/Rove genius. Anyway, here’s a few more worries. Our president is:

An enemy of the environment.

A paper tiger in Liberia.

A “useful idiot” for neocon ideologues.

A hypocrite on states’ rights vis-a-vis SEC enforcement.

A hypocrite on free trade.

A hypocrite on fiscal responsibility.

A shameless McCarthyite.

A hypocrite on AmeriCorps.

A pushover for North Korea.

I could do this all day, but I’ll stop there for now.

Each one of those lines above take you to a different article, so make sure you read this at the source.

1. One of the things I miss about old DU is
Seeing your 50,000 posts count. It seems such a waste to have 1000+ for you given the contribution you have made here for so long.

2. It's no biggie
I don't know if anyone noticed, but I never once weighed in on the count issue. I figure that helping people get the news is enough. I don't need numbers to tell me what I'm doing--I get great letters from other DUers all the time telling me about the affect I've had on them. That's more than enough.

Work has been getting the best of me, but I'm now on top of it, and I intend on staying on top of it from now on.

In other words: I'm back!

:hi:
