Tantrums

Submitted July 10, 2008 - 2:21 pm by Kathleen Hargan

Thank you once again, Al for staying solidly on the ground and refusing to be swept up in the whirlwind. It is a relief to have a place of balance and sanity to come to when tired of the tratruming of those who are unable to conceive of long term success as being a product of long term strategy.

I especially appreciated this:

"Or another of my favorite fortune-cookie axioms: He who says a thousand goodbyes never leaves.

It's the only dance move that some people know."

In my other life I am a child custody mediator, and find those who are the most intractible, the most stuck to their perceived "bottom lines" are the ones who, while professing their disdain for their former partners, never find a way to say goodbye, and prolong this process for years. The foot stomping, the posturing, the "my way or no way" I've seen across the "liberal" blogosphere has the same quality.

Btw, love the pix of chicken little...

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
