    The Last Redoubt By David Glenn Cox
    Many people think of catastrophes as an exclamation point, a lightening bolt from out of the blue sky. The truth is usually that most cataclysms are a series of minor events unnoticed in their individual accounts but it is when the sums are totaled that we begin to see it before our eyes and shake our heads with disappointment in our own rekonings.
    The liner Titanic was running full speed through an ice field despite warnings, it was a moonless night (…)

    6 September 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    There are certain aspects of the Bush administration that have made themselves glaringly obvious after six and a half years.
    Rule number 1, They never ever ever, ever tell the truth about anything, no matter how small or how inconsequential. The truth must always be dragged out of them like a dentist pulling wisdom teeth. Only after the lies and cover stories have all been exposed will the administration begin to admit the truth. Then only the truth that they are (…)
