So, he took the day off from work to meet with friends. He told me he's glad I "gave him a long weekend." Nu?<BR/><BR/>Please don't make dates magical.<BR/><BR/>Not that I can't play along.<BR/><BR/>IF America decides to "hit" Iran ... which it could do from sea and air ONLY ... then, what if the date for this is Julyt 4th?<BR/><BR/>Would you say I was prescient?<BR/><BR/>Or would you say that Bush would look for a date when lots of people were enjoying "their long vacation." And, weren't paying attention.<BR/><BR/>I remember reading, once, that Americans, by and large, don't even pay attention to politics during the summer. They wait for Labor Day. And, then they decide.<BR/><BR/>True? Who knows. But Dan Rather waited for a date (it may have been in September, or early October), to go on 60 Minutes, and LIE about Bush's "in-action" during America's Viet Nam war years. TO NO AVAIL!<BR/><BR/>Heck, it blew CBS right out of the water!<BR/><BR/>But if you want to pick a date; go ahead.<BR/><BR/>July 4th, here, is known for its fireworks.<BR/><BR/>And, most of the media types are away from their desks. Need I remind you?<BR/><BR/>But the Internet is 24/7. Check Drudge every morning, and you'll know what's considered news.<BR/><BR/>But only when it happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
