I’m wondering — why isn’t there a member of the minority in Congress willing to stand up, every day, and ask: “Why hasn’t this administration captured Osama bin Laden?”
I think someone should ask that question every day, because the White House has done a very good job of focusing attention on Saddam Hussein and Iraq, and shifting it away from the actual enemy out there.
Am I the only one who thinks the Bush administration looks inept over its inability to track and capture this man?
Of course, if say a Democrat steps up to ask this question, it could backfire quickly as I don’t think the Democrats are any better equipped to capture him.
Hey, Gene.
This is not really a comment on Sunday’s blog entry, although I have felt pretty much the same way as you about the Bush administration’s reactions since the actual day of 9/11!
My partner’s radio alarm clock went off this morning, and I woke for a moment and heard a snippet of an NPR news story about Tom DeLay (running for re-election, I think). Falling back to sleep, I dreamed that the report visited the site of a fundraising house concert by Sara Hickman. When I woke up again, I was sure that the Sara part was only in my dream, but then I thought — however unlikely I might think it is — the fundraiser event might have occurred sometime in the past (since I only heard a smidgen of the radio report.) So, curious, I Googled “Sara Hickman” and “Tom DeLay”, which led me to your blog. “Sara Hickman” was highlighted on the blog page entry that came up, but no trace of “Tom Delay”.
However, I was led to another curiosity altogether: The banner at the top of the blog page was a section of a map of Frontier City. Is that Frontier City in Oklahoma City? Are you from Oklahoma City? I haven’t thought about it in years, but I grew up in Lawton, OK, and going to Frontier City was kind of like a closer-to-home, mini-taste of Six Flags when I was growing up.
Actually, it’s Frontier Village, which was a little amusement park here in San Jose. Like many of its counterparks in the middle of the 20th century, it has passed into memory and is now a big, empty city park.
