Amidst all the brouhaha over George Bush&#8217;s attack on Barack Obama in the Israeli Knesset was this hilarious (if grating) exchange between Hardball-host Chris Matthews and conservative pundit Kevin James. I never thought I&#8217;d be admiring Matthews twice in one year, let alone one week, but it has happened as he seized [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vcredit.wordpress.com&blog=2086616&post=28&subd=vcredit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Superficially, such tangential escapes may suggest a threat to concentration, but I see them more as starting point for ceaseless mental explorations.

Then again, the bop on the head and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vcredit.wordpress.com&blog=2086616&post=17&subd=vcredit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
