This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you. However, if it's going to happen to you, and the outcome is ultimately going to be negative, then finding a way to make the process as bearable, even as enjoyable as possible, might be worth a little attention."—from John Jerome's On Turning Sixty-Five

Post-modern Political Science 101
I found this startling picture mixed in with the usual large number of adorable Obama and family pictures at one of our local book stores. I haven't read a Newsweek article for a long time, probably because I used one of them in writing a term paper without attribution of course. That was back in the late 50s. I'm sorry.
The author, a Mr Frum, says he is a conservative and a Republican. I gather he is one of those political advisors that only offer advice on how to win elections, not the putting forth of political practices that would be best for the country. Because it is necessary to win elections for many reasons and because Mr Limbaugh scares away the people that the Republicans should be actively inveigling to vote like our friends on the Left in order to win elections, Mr Frum says that Mr Limbaugh should keep his mouth shut.
Hence the cover picture. This sounds very much like the fox advising the chickens on security measures. I wonder if the publisher of this magazine should worry about truth in advertising and change the name to Newsweak? Or is this just part of the continuing campaign of the Democrats to keep Mr Obama as President for Life?
