PREP
I am getting ready for Dean to fade. I do not want it. I do not expect it. But I am such a political junky that I need to prep myself for the possibility. What would I do and where would I put my attention?
This little speculation in FrontPage Magazine (originated in the NYPost but I do not go there) Howards End by John Podhoretz I do not know if I agree with him but it sets me thinking.
Podhoretz is a righty (Norm's kid)--NY Post; Fox News, a former speechwriter for Reagan; a neo con. I read these guys to get a different slant (Sullivan, Drudge, et. al.). I like to get ecumenical. I get tired of sitting in the choir and being preached to by my own kind. I think that I am a better man for the exposure. At least, I learn tolerance and acceptance; and the then there is the occasional new idea or way of looking at things.
My friend Bob will love seeing this last para.
