I remember now!
It was a letter in yesterdays Contra Costa Times, which I read at work during lunch hour. I wanted to answer it, but when I got home and looked for it in our issue of the West County Times, I couldn't find it! Apparently the CC Times and the WC Times are not always identical. And to make matters worse, I couldn't remember just what it was I found to comment on. But it just came back to me. Somebody was complaining about the fact (however much of a fact it may be) that Senator John Kerry has missed many votes in the Senate, and we can't tolerate having a president who is not on the job 24/7.
Which brought the immediate thought: just where was it that George W. Bush was spending much of the summer before 9/11? The words "ranch" and "Crawford, Texas" spring immediately to mind ...
