Just finished reading the latest World Watch essay when the final sentence leaped out at me.
quote:The only similarity, in fact, is that O'Donnell himself has chosen to call both men by the same ugly names. And name-calling is not history. It's propaganda. (Like this column and all other reviews.)
I couldn't help but laugh that you had the chutzpah to say that. I'm not even sure what to say but that you have certainly corrected a bias I had when reading your essays.

I actually got the same feeling and decided to come onto this forum to see if anyone discussed it. Glad to find another like-mind!

I'm not sure which World Watch essay this is in response to, because I don't care to read them that carefully. I am always interested in what they're going to be about, though.
It puzzles me why OSC would continually self-identify as a Democrat. I know he says the party has changed, but maybe it has so much that his old definition really doesn't apply anymore and should be discarded.
If Republican doesn't fit, Independent may be the way to go.
No matter. The man's politics don't matter to me except as a curiousity. And by that I mean that I am curious, not that I think his views are curious, although I often don't agree. I am perfectly capable of loving his fiction either way.
It just seems strange to read someone who seems to always fall into the Republican party lines of thought and yet still claim to be a Democrat.

Careful with the "always," Katarain. It's not true-- maybe you should read his columns a little more carefully.
