the table is a delusion, but time, time is forever:
I was really impressed today as I drove home from Minnesota, and every news station on the radio from Fargo to Chicago talked about some Iraqis 'demanding' a timetable for withdrawal. Finally they're coverin the news. Wisconsin Public Radio's IDEA network had on some hack from the American Enterprise Institute, Rachel Maddow chatted it up with Russ Feingold in between apologia for Obama's flutter-tumble on FISA, Ed Schultz discussed it in his every increasingly El Rushbo-like jowl-hanging blubber ridden radio voice, NPR covered it six ways til sunday, and all the talk radio squibs babbled about it, one way or another. After 11 hours on the road with nothing but news talk not one party to this micro-universe of the national discourse cared to mention that the vast majority of Iraqis have consistently wanted us to withdraw on a timetable since at least the Spring of 2004.
My brain seg faulted trying to count the number of times I heard mention of "democracy" or "sovereignty".
