the only dynasty im interested in supporting right now rhymes with 'duh matriots.'

in the lead of his times op-ed today, nick kristof writes, 'In a presidential campaign that has involved battles over everything from Iraq to driver’s licenses, one sweeping topic has gone curiously unexamined: Does it diminish American democracy if we keep the presidency in the same two families that have held it since 1989?' he follows with an elegant examination of the subject, including a reference to a website i hadnt known about: Bush & Clinton Forever.

i just want to take this opportunity to pat myself on the back. for months, ive been spraying this dynasty question on anyone who will listen to me, and even many who wont. and i raised most of the key issues kristof raises, in this very spot, earlier this month. (search for 'pancakes' here.)
