Mardi Gras is over and I'll be glad to drive around without the monumental traffic jams.
Now its time to get back to the rest of the world.
I see where Britain is withdrawing from Iraq. They declared victory too. Tony Blair finally gets it. They sure don't want to get stuck there if the surge goes badly.
I'm watching the Democratic candidates and waiting to see them in a debate. Bill Richardson has the best resume, Hillary has the most money and organization, and Obama has the most crowd appeal. There is a crew of others, some of whom are very appealing.
I wonder how much damage Mr Bush has done to the Republican party. The Regan revolution captured the middle class for quite a few years but Mr Bush seems to have lost those Regan Democrats. There is some thinking that there is a leftward drift in the country, but I think its too soon to tell. I think we are basically a centrist country and more pragmatic than ideological. Mr Bush has betrayed a lot of conservative principles, weakened conservatives politically, and they are stuck with him for the next 2 years. Unfortunately, we all are stuck with him.

Enjoying the blog, your such an excellent writer, maybe the NY Times could hire you to improve their staff, as they have taken a lot of hits lately, but, forget the Time Pic; HOPE that NOLA can get itself together sooner than later, and I look forward to the 2007 Jazz Festival weekend; I miss part of the city but not too much! Its a wonderful place to visit, next to SFO and NYC, my favorite city to visit, such charm, too bad the politicans have nearly ruined the city, you need some fresh new looks! Good to see the conventions back going strong, and maybe that will give the city a boost in the arm, insofar as revenue. Keep writing Bob, see you soon.
