Alice through the looking glass











"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less." in Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll.

I begin to wonder just who has a grip on reality--maybe I just don't get it? Today, the Washington Post reported that "The president said that Gonzales' testimony before skeptical Judiciary Committee senators last week 'increased my confidence' in his ability to lead the Justice Department. Separately, a White House spokeswoman said, 'He's staying.'"

Each day the universe that contains the limits of the surreal for the Bush administration expands further. Can this expansion continue until January of 2009? Or will some force of gravitational morality cause the universe to begin to contract?

`Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall:
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty in his place again.'

  1. Hi Jamie!

    I posted an item about Gonzales the other day that used the exact same quote you used. Great blog, by the way. Reading it, I feel enlightened and inspired.

  2. I don't know what the deal is with the comments gone missing on the most recent post. Did you check under the settings tab for the blog to make sure that comments are not hidden? I like blue wheelbarrow a lot. common ground seems a bit more caustic. you're getting into it, I see--land of river roads? common ground? old wadena? hmmm...

  3. I can't say I much like Common Ground--please note that Del Moen is the main poster to that blog. I had to ask him to delete one of his more unpleasant comments.
