When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Some fun from a famous Volleyballer we all had heard of. And my buddy Patrick knows him!
newtimesbpb.com | Blowing Smoke | 2000-11-23: "That night, after the interview but before the Sun-Sentinel hit the streets, Fladell's version of the day's events changed. 'When I went to the beach later that day,' he told a national audience on Larry King Live, 'many of my friends were there. We were at a restaurant, Boston's on the Beach, and they said the ballot was difficult and they had great difficulty with the presidential vote.' (He now claims the Sun-Sentinel got it wrong.)
Fladell thought his buddies were just beefing. How could anybody not know how to vote? Only later did he realize the odds were good he'd screwed up, he told King. (He related a similar version of events to New Times a week after the election, leaving out the restaurant scene and contending he made the discovery while talking to another volleyball player on the beach, just before a game.)"
