Sanity please

These thoughts of one writer to Glenn Reynolds express well what we’ve been feeling around our home during the last few days of news coverage on the Katrina hurricane.

America speaks

It’s early Thursday morning and I think it’s clear now that President Bush has been re-elected. Let’s face it—the math favors the President in Ohio.
