Good afternoon.
Political matters aren't going to be a mainstay here (I hope). There are enough people talking about the quirky state of affairs in this country already. They have reasoned opinions, etc. I just tend to get really angry, sputter for a few minutes, and then go look for some chocolate.
However, Molly Ivins has a nice recent column. Read it here. She writes about what she sees as general shift toward corporate control in government, and puts it in historical perspective. Ivins has some provocative books out, which you can buy here.
