Playing Catch Up After A Busy Week 9/12/06
I am working on a post that will attempt to make some sense of the flurry of speeches given recently by White House personnel, including President Bush. These speeches, which aim to remind Americans of the horrors of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center are also designed to be the opening salvos in the electoral battle for the control of Congress. I’ll get that post up as soon as I can. In the meantime, here are some important articles to keep up with.
