This Modern World

**WARNING: Political Rant Ahead**

One of the local weekly papers in Indianapolis publishes a great comic strip, This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow. Click here to see the latest strip, a unfortunately all-too-true jab at the Bush administration's spin machine at work.

Through the This Modern World website, I've discovered Bob Harris's blog. It's sort of a Drudge Report for Democrats, a sometimes funny, sometimes snarky, and sometimes cutthroat look at the news. Harris spends most of his time punching holes in the Bush Admin.'s smokescreen of lies (while never missing an opportunity to bash a conservative pundit), but also links to disturbing articles such as this look at the fictional reality which Bush supporters have created for themselves. The more I read as this election approaches, the more I fear for the direction this country is headed. It's depressing to think about how many Americans are choosing to live with their heads buried in the Iraqi sand.
