In all fairness to Bush, he's right and it's right to say so: We will never be able to rest from this war. We will be on guard always. We can work not only to make sure the rest of the world rejects these evil slime, we can also tear apart their nests and replace them with lands of freedom and democracy. But these slime are the cockroaches of humankind. They will hide and they will morph. We will prevail. We will survive. We will succeed. But we won't "win" against every terrorist and we should not fool ourselves to think that that day at the surrender table will ever come.
America as we know and love it is nearing its end
: Hostess, maker of Wonder Bread and Twinkies, is facing insolvency.
What could be more American? Hell, I am Wonder Bread. And proud of it.
And when I was TV critic of TV Guide, I called shows "twinkie" so often, my editor made me stop.
Forget preserving landmarks and open space and the odd toad. We must preserve Wonder Bread and Twinkies!
News judgment
: Amazing that WNBC in New York did not run Rudy's speech last night. This is New York. This is Rudy. And he was great. The ABC affil had football but the CBS and Fox stations had Rudy.
Sorry to say that I wasn't wowed by McCain.
And otherwise, even Fox wasn't showing much because, well, conventions are boring and newsless.
: I do wish Rudy would get back on the public stage. He could be the man to fix the FBI; I've been pushing for that since the day he left office. He could make a helluva head of Homeland Security, though that's an even more thankless job.
: UPDATE: Rex Hammock puts it well on McCain: "John McCain is to Republicans what Bill Bradley is to Democrats. Bigger than life. Genuine greatness. But totally lacking the whole speech-making thing."
