My Culpa or, My Bad
It looks like I won't get around to giving this article the time and thought needed to respond responsibly. Not that I don't think an article like this is important, but summer time is in full swing and I thankfully, for now, have far more appealing ways to spend time!
I would like to address what I feel might be chaotic and reactionary responses on my part...
First, when I read the article, I was at work. I skimmed it and responded. As it turns out, I probably didn't get to the meaning of the article as it is detailed, and my reading of it was not. Mea culpa or, My Bad.
Second, deservedly or not, I associate a liberal bias with the Salon mag. and I'm sure it colored my (skim) reading of the article.
Third, I am fairly sensitive to much of the popular portrayal and criticisms of President Bush. To be fair, he and his administration have made many mistakes. However, the opinionated non-factual criticisms that are leveled at him on a daily basis wear on me. Whenever I hear fact-based, rational, thoughtful discussion and criticism of the Bush administration, I am so relieved and find far more common ground with others.
So, my apologies for confusing what is most likely a worthy discussion.
For what its worth,
Ed.
