No one seems to be writing opinion pieces quite the way I would, so I decided to do it myself.

The name? Taverns are places where one goes to discuss the interesting events and things in the world, so this is my tavern.

I will offer my views on politics, economics, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I will occasionally publish the entire article from another journal for purposes of causing discussion.

 

The Mists of Falsehoods

Charley Reese describes how I feel about the Bush administration.

I see one set of facts, but if I listen to what Bush and Fleisher say, none of what I see exists. Instead, everything is great, except when its not and then it will be. All we need is another tax cut to put more money into the economy so people can spend more. Unless they don't have jobs in the first place, as is more and more true.

Arianna Huffington offers an explanation. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and Wolfowitz are fanatics who will ignore any evidence that contradicts what they know must be true.


I didn't think anyone would ever elect neocon ideologues to office in numbers large enough to actually try out their ideas. ~No one~ could be that crazy! Well, I was wrong.

January 2005 needs to get here quickly before the damage gets too bad to repair.
