We are a group of friends and acquaintances -- a merry band of pranksters indeed -- who have been arguing about politics on-and-off, then really on, then a little off... since 1998. On email. But that meant literally thousands of emails a year. That was too many. So here's the blog dedicated to carrying on that spirit of political and pop culture argument and dialogue. You might think of us as "schmoliticians", because while we take politics seriously, we try not to take ourselves quite so.
I just thought I'd post this article from Reuters concerning World opinion, anecdotal opinion at least, about the disaster in the Gulf states to see if I could actually hear Ryan's head explode from my apartment 10 blocks away from his office. Listen closely everyone!

My favorite quote from the Reuters article:
"A modern metropolis sinking in water and into anarchy -- it is a really cruel spectacle for a champion of security like Bush," France's left-leaning Liberation newspaper said.
It is ironic that Bush has been able to garner support with his security platform. I know I'm not the only American who feels a lot less secure than I did before this happened. If a terrorist attack of the same magnitude had occurred in New Orleans, would the response have been better? What about when the terrorists do strike again? How will he respond?
