Sunday Columns

In her column this morning, Maureen Dowd uses the phrase "the Flintstones nature of the country" to refer to Afghanistan. Ouch!

To be fair and balanced, Good old warrior Oliver North uses his Washington Times column to criticize President Obama for not being warlike enough: "Would a war president devote 92 percent of his public commentary, speeches, lectures and media appearances over the past 10 months to everything but the war?" 

Meanwhile, Frank Rich offers this: "The geniuses in Washington and on Wall Street who invented junk mortgages and then bundled and sold them as securities didn’t live in the same neighborhoods as the mortgagees, small investors and retirees left holding the bag once the housing bubble burst." And his column is a movie review. Really.  

Good reading for a rainy Sunday morning in Alabama, though one way or the other, they may cause a spike in your blood pressure.
