Cold War Nostalgia

Posted on 12 November 2009 by tibtv

The global celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the
Berlin Wall aren’t entirely about commemorating the rebirth of freedom
or reliving those thrilling moments when a perverse and repressive

in government would be frustrated by the utter powerlessness and
insignificance of the lieutenant governor’s office.

who’ll spend six hours chasing a white ball around a park," Joe
Mathews, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation, said, with
tongue planted only partly in cheek. "If voters had known about the
golf, they would have been less surprised by his lack of urgency on
many issues." … Original Article
