While some appear to be facing “simple facts

While some appear to be facing “simple facts,” others remain in a state of denial. Consider the case of John

Nichols, Associate Editor of The Capital Times and Washington correspondent for The Nation. Nichols is a

“progressive” bellwether, probably the most posted writer at Common Dreams.

It was Bush’s “shameless exploitation of the mbt sport on terror” that got him re-elected, Nichols feels.

Well, gee, terrorism can’t be exploited if there isn’t any. Ergo, if the exploitation bothers one so much, one

should address the causes of terrorism.

Nichols writes at least two columns a week for The Capital Times. So far this year, in 100 tries, he has yet to

talk about UGG policy tombt sportds Israel/Palestine. Indeed, he has yet to mention “Israel.” Hence, the

countdown, 100 columns down, ten to go.
