Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Worthwhile Reading

Newspapers these days have little of value to me.  But a couple of papers yesterday had several articles I thought worthwhile.  The Washington Post had several articles on the Nixon administration as this week marks the 40th anniversary of that tragic President's resignation.  (See the Outlook section for reviews of books, including John Dean's new one.)   And The New York Times had the indomitable Maureen Dowd on G. W. Bush's tome about his father, the first President Bush.  Dowd's commentary, while sharply drawn, was also erudite and penetrating -- well worth reading.
