Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

I saw something the other day about Rudy Giuliani trying to boost John McCain’s presidential candidacy (lots of luck with that stuff, pal), and it reminded me of how I sometimes miss Rudy’s insanely incessant invocations of Sept. 11.

George Will, a conservative commentator who occasionally makes sense, TAKES ISSUE with John McCain over last week’s ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court regarding detainees at Guantanamo.
Will even expresses doubt that McCain has read the court’s opinions and dissents in the case.
“More likely,” he writes, “some clever ignoramus convinced him that this decision could make the Supreme Court — meaning, which candidate would select the best judicial nominees — a campaign issue.”
UPDATE: The McCain camp SEEMS NOT to understand that the next president, no matter who it is, will have to comply with the high court’s ruling in the Gitmo case.

This post is the 700th since the inception of this blog back in early January — a pretty good record for a part-time enterprise, if I say so myself.
Coincidentally, Applesauce’s 2,500th comment was posted early last evening.
I’m sincerely grateful to those of you who visit here regularly — and especially to those who bravely offer comments. I say “bravely” because you risk incurring my wrath if you catch me in a foul mood — which is not uncommon, owing to the fact that relatively few commenters agree with me on anything.
