October

October is a special month. On October 19, D/M will mark its 6-month aniversary (April 19 also being a somewhat important day for the old USA aswell... 1775 you say?). Hurray! On tap we have the Schiavo epic (now in progress), some new "celebratory" songs, as well as more of the serio-funk political criticism you crave.

I also predict a few inside scoops.

In the meantime, though I hate her verbal mannerisms and find her viewpoint often myopically simple-minded, I have to give Maureen Dowd some credit for this simple formulation, regarding the Iraq situation:

This week, Gen. Richard Myers offered more circular logic, warning that a U.S. defeat would invite another 9/11. The Bush administration used 9/11 as a pretext for invading Iraq and now says it can't leave for fear of spurring another 9/11.

Anyway, happy October, let's hope the Sox can pull off another win and make things really interesting... More predictions on Jose soon, once the playoffs are set. I will also begin predicting NFL results this weekend.
