We have met the enemy,

and he is us. Older readers may recognize the reference; it's how Pogo would signal his disgust with the world. These days, it's more appropriate than ever.

Start with my alma mater's basketball team, which nearly blew a home game against unranked Gonzaga last night. How'd they do it? They came in there with adrenaline pumping, and Gonzaga used that fact to cajole them into playing Gonzaga's game instead of State's.

Well done, Gonzaga. Hopefully this wakes up the Spartans.

In similar manner, where is most of the most effective evidence against health insurance deform bills coming from? The Congressional Budget Office, of course. One would think that Madame Pelosi might consult some actuaries and accountants BEFORE submitting a bill, but then again, the thesis is, again, that the enemy is us.

Finally, I had the privilege of analyzing a little pamphlet from "Chick" publications recently that endorsed the exclusive use of the 1611 KJV. Guess where I got the best evidence against Chick?

You guessed it, the preface to and text of the 1611 KJV. One would think that someone who claims to love a translation might have actually read the notes from the translators and understood them, but apparently not.

Again, we have met the enemy, and he is us.
