Getting Grounded on Groundhog Day
POPE IMPROVING
MOVE ON “STUCK?”
DEAN TO RUN DEMS
It’s Groundhog Day. If you saw the movie, you will recall that Bill Murray kept going back to the same old place. That’s probably what we can expect tonight when President Bush gives his annual State of the terror war speech. (For my take, see “State of the Media Address” on MediaChannel.org) The Washington Post reports: ” President Bush plans to further his case for remaking Social Security during his State of the Union address, a speech also expected to celebrate the spread of democracy.”
As for the Democrats, the NY Times reports this morning: “Howard Dean is almost assured to be the new leader of the Democratic National Committee after a main rival quit the race.”
POPE OUT OF DANGER?
**Early reports from Rome today indicate that an ailing Pope is recovering. The Vatican says no cause for alarm.
