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.

 

Joel Achenbach - This is not yet a scandal

In his Washington Post editorial today, Joel Achenbach says the 16 words in the State of the Union does not yet make it to scandal status.

But if you put it together with the fact that the report released today shows that Intelligence had absolutely no evidence of a connection between Iraq and Al Qaida, when Bush said for a year prior to the war that there was such evidence, then it seems to me to be a lot closer to a true scandal.
