Today's NYT includes another marvelous op-ed piece by Frank Rich. With regard to the impending departure of the current occupant, undoubtedly the worst president in American history, there's simply no such thing as piling on.
A President Forgotten but Not Gone, by Frank Rich (New York Times).
The last NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll on Bush’s presidency found that 79 percent of Americans will not miss him after he leaves the White House. He is being forgotten already, even if he’s not yet gone. You start to pity him until you remember how vast the wreckage is. It stretches from the Middle East to Wall Street to Main Street and even into the heavens, which have been a safe haven for toxins under his passive stewardship. The discrepancy between the grandeur of the failure and the stature of the man is a puzzlement. We are still trying to compute it.

I read that piece this morning and thought Frank was mostly right, but then, I've felt that way a long...time.
Today's courier-journal has several mainly cosmetic changes. It will take a little time to get use to where things are. I think the weirdest thing is they will only have classifieds wed-sun. The only question I have is why is the show clock so small. I have great vision and it is a squint for me to see.
