Thanks to the visitors on my other site from Australia: Gympie, Queensland; Melbourne; Victoria; Sydney; Brisbane; and Bringelly. Oops, there are more! One just showed up from Perth. I've been reading Niall Ferguson's World of War (a stunning book), and he writes a fair amount Australians' superb performance in World War II.
I regularly talk about how some American political campaigns (William Russell, Heather Wilson, Jean Schmidt, Melissa Hart; and James Gilmore) must be national efforts. In fact, they should be international undertakings, as we join with our brothers and sisters around the globe. For several generations, Australia has been one of our noblest allies, and those of us in the U.S. look forward to working with you on critical issues.
If you're looking for SmartPolitics101's version of "Comedy Central," scroll down to the next column.
A lot of us complain about the heavy hand of bureaucracy. In the early 1800s, when the federal bureaucracy might have fit within a single building, someone asked President John Adams what he thought of the group.
Adams reflected for a few seconds, shook his head, and said: "Few die . . . NONE retire." As the French saying goes, "The more things change, the more they remain the same."
