Brief entry on a busy day:

Stunningly, weirdly, perhaps promisingly, Gary Hart now has a blog. So far it looks like cut n’ pasted bits from the ol’ stump speech - if you start a paragraph with a sentence like ‘Another young person asked me “why are you a Democrat?”‘ you’re not exactly Keeping It Real. Not that […]

There’s been a lot of speculation that Wednesday night’s appearance by Saddam Hussein might have been pre-taped or the work of a double.
