Carol Lofton of the Houston Chronicle did a nice piece about my attempted bike ride to New York. Although the headline writer messed up (kind of
tough to average 525 miles a day on a bicycle), it’s nice to be recognized, and it is raising more money for Houston Habitat for Humanity. You can read my account here, and you can still make a
pledge here or by calling 713-671-9993, Ext. 14…thanks, Angie!

James Carville and Paul Begala, speaking on Crossfire as the election results showed the Rs winning across the board, said the problem with the Ds was that they
had accomodated George W. too much, and that the party would have done better had it been more confrontational.
I think they’re wrong.
The Rs won because they received more of the centerist, independent voters (I may or may not expound on why they did this later). Messrs. Carville and Begala
suggest going further left as a cure? On the contrary, the Dems should try to go more to the center, especially if the Rs misinterpret the election result as a
mandate for the far right. If the Rs go off the deep right end, and the Ds reclaim the middle, you could see a complete swing the other way in 2004. If both the
Rs and the Ds head away from the middle, we could see another indpendent movement
?
? la Perot ’92 emrge.
As if I needed more things to take up my time, I’m going to inflict my opions on the world now.
Is this my homepage?
Hmmmmm.
