In with the old
Today the Times-Dispatch takes a shot at rock music, that savage racket out to enslave our young with its primal beat. Across town, Jim Ukrop lifts his cup of Posten and guffaws, "Hear, hear!" It only took the paper's coffin-dodging editorial board three days to dodder out a comment on the first presidential debate. Today the braintrust takes a characteristic second swipe at the topic, adding a frisson of old-man weirdness. I've been enjoying the paper's take on Kerry--apparently he's inconsistent in his beliefs, except when it comes to stuff he said 34 years ago. I haven't had time, but I'd really like to go dig up some T-D editorials from 1970 and see how consistent the board's been on, say, desegregation. I look forward to two or more flailing takes on last night's debate--one on Friday, perhaps (when is the deadline over there?), and another on Sunday, by which point there'll be a whole new debate that requires tardy bloviation.

regarding the British psychiatrist/Rock Critic, i was reminded (remound?) that it was a Dalrymple behind the Glencoe Massacre. conclusion? those f_ckers never quit.
vice-presidential debate was instructive. Cheney promises a terrorist attack if Mr Bush isn't re.elected. Mr Edwards tells us that Bush made a mistake by attacking Iraq instead of Iran. now we the American voter must choose which style/flavor of War we find most attractive/appetizing.
