Those Post-Election, Pitiful Yankees, Big Apple Blues- November 18, 2004 New Yorkers are feeling a severe case of heat withdrawal. They were used to being the red-hot center of American news and opinion. Suddenly they're flyover country, relics from a dying tribe, seedy and unloved. They are as forlorn as those fiery partisan books that once pulsed with an angry beat on the bestseller list and now linger on the remainder tables in Barnes &38; Noble.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2004/11/18/AR2005033112418.html?nav=r... Requiem In Blue- November 4, 2004 In the next four years Democrats will look back on the heady afternoon of Nov. 2, 2004, with the kind of nostalgia they used to reserve for their honeymoons. It was a buoyant, sunny afternoon of the new Kerry administration and it felt as light and airy as it must for the women of Afghanistan when they first throw off their burqas.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2004/11/04/AR2005033109491.html?nav=r... |
