Center of Attention

balancing_act.jpg

A round up of recent posts by various bloggers who either attempt to strike a balanced note on heated debates and controversial issues, or improve our ability to find our own sense of balance by exposing us to new information and different points-of-view.

————————–

Steve Benen thinks Republicans have perfected “the art of the hissy fit.” Over the course of time, I suspect both parties would be found equally guilty — but just looking at the last several months … Benen’s probably right.

Dick Polman chimes in on the Democrats’ Armenian-genocide exercise. His conclusion: “Talk about ineptitude…The Democrats have managed to make even Bush sound wise and sensible.”

Ed Morrissey thinks certain managers at a Texas TV station are just as culpable (if not more so) than the reporter they suspsended over a troubling incident.

John Cole offers a list of questions for GOP candidates. My sense of humor may be terribly twisted, but I thought this post was quite funny … and enlightening, as satire often is.

    John Cole’s questions are hilarious, as are some offered in the commnets section.

    I’m so jealous of people who create humor, instead of just sit on the sidelines and laugh, like I do.

    Pete – Are you turning into a JC ex-Republican?

  3. Pete Abel says:

    Rudi,

    No, I’m turning into a PA new-Republican! :-)

  4. Rudi says:

    As a Democrat I hope you can take back your party. A game is always better with two strong teams.

    Hmmmhmmm

    Not with the likes of Pete Stark on the other side!

    DLS – None of these candidates are a Reagan, RR grabbed the interest of the Religious Right without pandering. RR also took Macomb county in Michigan, even Romney’s ties to Michigan won’t work in Macomb and Oakland counties.

    John Cole really outdid himself. Something tells me he won’t be rejoining the GOP any time soon. #3 was hilarious. Sick, but funny.
