Carbon Disposal
We ask for your indulgence. Plus: Dissentary at Columbia. The Newt conservatism. Drawling the line in Florida. Plus more.

Just because Fred has a twang that is just to the right of Jeff Foxworthy, don’t think even for a minute think he’s got the Southern vote all wrapped up (and we’re talking other than Florida). Mr. Red October still has much ‘splaining to do regarding his Senate record and lobbying activities. He makes much ado about being a Federalist which, in Constitutional circles at least, is exactly the polar opposite position espoused by those who claim Federalism as the ideal. A Federalist is a big-government type who loves the idea of centralized power, while Federalism is synonymous with local responsibility. Look it up.
p>In the end, the election will boil down to the candidates with the biggest, boldest, and best ideas. As of now, both Mr. Hs, Mr. Little T, and (gasp!!!) Mrs. C have been the mostest on the trail in that regard. Messieurs Big T, G, R, M, O, and E have been the “me to” candidates thus far — not much substance and suspect at best concerning style. And poor Mr. P; he forgot his tin-foil hat on the dashboard. Although he may play the part of a good ole’ boy, Mr. Thompson, at best, is auditioning for the position of second banana. br> — Owen H.
