That slate article reminds me that a few weeks ago, senior congressional Dems got together for several days to identify the core values of the party, and came up, I think, with a dozen. It came time for Sens. Clinton and, oh, Ted Kennedy or some other iconic Democrat to reveal them at some DNC function and... they had different lists.
I love the joke in today's title! But alas, it does not measure up to "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend..."
Heh, true. I'm trying to remember where I read about a nightlight especially designed to deal w/ the situation that joke describes in its punchline...
Neocons have done a great job of framing and the Democrats have to play catchup. Sometimes it seems hard to have a moderate position without coming across as a hippy or socialist.
....and inside a dog, it's dark to read!
The title joke is pretty good/ bad too :-)
