Ooooooh. Two blogs one day.
\nI couldn’t resist just a little news surfing. Here’s<\/a>
\na nice one on Howard Dean. Fleischer
\nis resigning<\/a> and this could be good for the rest of America. Perhaps Bush
\nwon’t find a decent press secretary (sigh)? Kerry<\/a>
\nis calling for a tax increase on the rich, and it’s the first time I might actually
\nhave feelings of "like" for him. Perhaps he is not as bad as I thought,
\nand I guess "anyone but Bush" ain’t so bad. Now THIS<\/a>
\nis sad – who benefits from tax cuts? The rich. Who pays for Bush to spend millions
\non a 5-minute clip convincing the middle class that he is "our kind of guy"?
\nThe middle class.
\nHow come Clinton
\nis cooler now<\/a> than when he was president? More
\nDean,<\/a> which says, "I’m conservative about money. I really do believe
\nin a balanced budget, but I’m appalled by the president’s fiscal irresponsibility.
\nAnd I’m liberal about social issues." This<\/a>
\nis funny. Dean
\nin Newsweek.<\/a>
\nAnd lastly, The
\nMatrix: Reloaded<\/a> finally opens in South Africa on Wednesday. I can’t wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
