The Greatest Show On Earth

Why, the California Recall Election, of course: three rings of action, thrills, suspense and comedy. In this ring we have Daniel Weintraub, currently still with the Sacramento Bee, and probably still the principal source of informed comment on the Barnum and Bailey extravaganza that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal says is back on again for 7 October.

But mercy me. Mr. Weintraub has been letting "unedited" comment go out on his portion of the paper's blog. The Sacbee has decided he needs a minder. "Why ever for?" I hear you asking, as well you might. Nancy Nall explains it for us here in her blog/column for 9/23. Do read it. No one has ever mistaken Miss Nancy for a conservative -- paleo or neo-con. But she writes so well and she knows idiocy at work when she sees it

(Nancy's column is now in her archive. I have changed the link to reflect that. For the relevant column, scroll down to the 23rd's entry entitled "Welcome to Dullsville".)
