And, of course, pick up a copy of David Brooks' book, 'On Paradise Drive.' Brooks gets it and the old line Democrat strategists didn't in this election. The Democrats' traditional rust belt, union, welfare, black and ethnic thinking did them in. The people who care about the future, have hope and optimism, and want to see terrorists not only defeated but eradicated (Bush uses the euphemism 'brought to justice') voted for Bush. The hatred-driven vote and the hate-filled appeal from assholes like Michael Moore and Barbara Streisand failed and will always fail, with or without the help of The Rolling Stones.
I will carefully watch how/if the New York Times and CBS can set their ships on a more realistic course. The real key to that is diversity of thought in the newsroom.
