it happens sometimes. i've had letters deleted (by Joan walsh
and Glenn greenwald) but NEVER without an acknowledgement that they
were doing so and why. they don't like doing it. but since
deletions CAN happen, they DO, and if they DO, sometimes it's by
error. send it again.
i read handlebar's article too, baby_boomerang and i also liked it,
but it's BIG (4 pages) so i'll summarize it in three sentences for
those who aren't going to read it.
Charles P. Pierce (who must be catholic) takes the persona of
"cynic" who wishes to become convinced that obama can "bring
america back". The best line (and one he himself liked so much he
used three times) was "He was offering absolution without
confession, without penance.", (see what i mean by catholic?). Then
he says, at the very end, "Convince me. Convince me. Convince me.",
(but before the cock crows?).
