Overworked, Underblogged

Stop being so stinkin' busy. That's what I told myself about four hours ago, but damned if the customers give a whit about my lack of blogging.

Oh well. But I have had enough brief bits of time to read a good article or two out there.

This is a Good Article.

Ms. Noonan touches on the current polls which have President Bush running behind the J. Fonda Kerry. And then she gives us this.....

Mr. Bush is the triumph of the seemingly average American man. He's normal. He thinks in a sort of common-sense way. He speaks the language of business and sports and politics. You know him. He's not exotic. But if there's a fire on the block, he'll run out and help. He'll help direct the rig to the right house and count the kids coming out and say, "Where's Sally?" He's responsible. He's not an intellectual. Intellectuals start all the trouble in the world. And then when the fire comes they say, "I warned Joe about that furnace." And, "Does Joe have children?" And "I saw a fire once. It spreads like syrup. No, it spreads like explosive syrup. No, it's formidable and yet fleeting." When the fire comes they talk. Bush ain't that guy. Republicans love the guy who ain't that guy. Americans love the guy who ain't that guy.

That's a gem. Enjoy the whole thing.
