I'm back in New Jersey. I flew in from Alaska on the evening of November 7 in time to vote.
I'm chronicling my trip to Interior Alaska—which started when I left for Florida on Friday, September 8—over on my Steese Review blog.
Here I want to restart my musings about cultural/economic/political/social stuff affecting my corner of the world ... for which, by the way, there was an excellent post by Jeff Madrick over on The Huffington Post titled "Milton Friedman: Not A Man For All Seasons". I recommend reading it ... plus Tim Sanders' post "Bury Friedman's Concept Of A Good Company", and David Goldstein's "On Milton Friedman, Comment Spam, and the Amorality of the Market", both also on The Huffington Post.
That election was something else, wasn't it? Wow! And then James Carville has the audacity to criticize Howard Dean's leadership of the Democratic National Committee. Carville has clearly lost it, whatever it was that he had. Read the straight scoop about Dean's leadership in the Kansas City Star.
Now we get to see what happens ... and it still may come to invoking Jack Cafferty's (of CNN) solution and impose term limits on everyone in Congress who was there prior to this last election.
Bush? Rove? They're totally exposed as carnival shills or clowns ... depending on your point of view.
But like I said, I'll watch how it unfolds ... see what happens when the new Congress convenes in January ... that's not too long for me, though it sure as hell is an ungodly long time for those in the military fighting and dying and getting wounded for what is now pretty much acknowledged as a lie and a mistake.
In the interim I'm going to spend some time letting my emerging understanding of the cosmos take shape here.
