Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Here's a little something to read while your away.
I think this article is getting closer to explaining some of the psychology behind the "Tough on Terror" pro-Bush supporters.

VT,
I looked at the title and author, laughed, and closed the page. I can't imagine anyone less qualified to analyze the psychology of Bush supporters than Paul Krugman.
Actually, given his fall from respected economist to a foaming-at-the-mouth columnist with a lax attitude toward the truth and his own dedicated fisking brigade, I think I'd be far more interested in a piece about the psychology of Paul Krugman.
VT -
I can't tell you how amusing it is to constantly have the 'Rambo' flag waved by those who oppose military action; by definition, in their view, those who support military action are 'Rambos'.
It's especially delightful, because in the film, John Rambo is simply trying to lead his life and visit with a fellow veteran, when he is unjustly arrested and abused by local law enforcement - and so his 'battle' is his effort to escape abuse and attain some measure of justice.
Krugman was a great economist and has become a court jester. I sincerely hope that he can, once again, write things that add to the world of thought as he has done in the past. This column doesn't.
