11/25/2003 Entry: "Through bein' cool"

"All this fuss about civility, then, is an attempt to bully critics into unilaterally disarming — into being demure and respectful of the president, even while his campaign chairman declares that the 2004 election will be a choice 'between victory in Iraq and insecurity in America.'"

Huh?

"And even aside from the double standard, how important is civility? I'm all for good manners, but this isn't a dinner party. The opposing sides in our national debate are far apart on fundamental issues, from fiscal and environmental policies to national security and civil liberties. It's the duty of pundits and politicians to make those differences clear, not to play them down for fear that someone will be offended."
The Uncivil War, by Paul Krugman (Yay!), NY Times, November 23, 2003

Yeah, we're through bein' cool. And we learned all this uncivility from the Right, doncha know. But with a Dem in the White House I think I could go back to being warmish.

One of the best deals anywhere.
