How liberals look from the middle of the road

[Desperadoe]

What a glorious day! I have a column in the Philadelphia Inquirer. I hope we all get along as we go along. I expect that occasionally we'll have some differences of opinion. I expect to be provocative. After more than 60 years as a journalist, I have some ideas about the state of our nation, of our world, of our culture, and I wouldn't be true to the purpose of a column if I didn't vent them here.

My hope is that you will find my commentary interesting, informative, perhaps occasionally amusing (deliberately, that is), and, at all times, fair and as unbiased as it is possible for opinion to be.

You are going to disagree with me from time to time, and I'll be disappointed if you don't. That fulfills the provocative requirement of a column like this.<snip>

3. Welcome back Mr. Cronkite

I am certain that we will be hearing a great deal of importance from that column.

4. Uncle Wally!! You're BACK! Hallelujah!!!!!!

We are making progress, boys and girls.

Or rather, I should probably say shrubster & his minions are making it for us -- in a downward spiraling direction that seems to be picking up speed.

Nothing less could bring Uncle Wally out of his peaceful well-earned retirement, take my word for it. He's on our side.

Having Uncle Wally back is a slap in the face with a wet fish for the Hannity/Russert/Limbaugh/shrieking heads in general crowd.

Long live Uncle W!

happily,
Bright
