Paul — then please consider the Clinton Administration, asleep at the wheel (due to the good cigar and blue dress lullaby), while the forces of international terrorism grew unopposed, only to be dumped on Bush.

Tag. Your turn.

Jake, my recollection may fail me here, but I’m pretty sure some folks did have the nagging sense from time to time during the Bush Administration that matches were in the hands of ignorant children in the dynamite shack. That is, as they say on the blogosphere, IIRC.

Things will look up eventually; once the market regains some certainty, maybe many other things will get rose-colored glasses. Being a military wife, I get more and more upset about the escalating war and security threats like the Christmas attempted attack, but I rarely feel hopeless unless I talk with people who are fearful about the stability of the economy.

As far as fighting terrorism goes, the Bush Administration’s signal omission was its failure to drop a 100-megaton warhead on Mecca on 9/12/2001. The animals who wish us nothing less will never understand anything less.

And the Obama Administration’s reaction to the attempted Christmas Day airliner bombing resembles nothing so much as a Roman bureaucrat, circa AD 100, complaining about how the Gauls smell, speak, and appear.

The Bush Administration had its faults, but, for God’s sake, one never had the current sense that matches are in the hands of ignorant children in the dynamite shack.

Cheer up — the decade ends on 12/31/2010 (just as the century began on 01/01/2001). It’s got time to improve.

Whew. Aside from that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
