Carter Blasts Bush and Blair
There seem to be a lot of folks who wait until they're dead(Gerald Ford, Jeane Kirkpatrick) or totally irrelevant (George Tenent) to bust up the Bush Administration. Not Jimmy Carter. This time in an interview with BBC he gives Tony Blair a needed verbal tongue lash, calling his attitude toward Bush's foreign policy "abominable. Loyal, blind, apparently subservient."

Update
I know its been a while. Anyways, my LOA is job-related. I just started a new one so its kind of distracted me from the blog. I promise to be back soon though. Stay tuned. Seriously.
In the meantime I'm almost finished with Labor Will Rule: Sidney Hillman and the Rise of American Labor. At over 500 ultra-dense pages that tackles everything from the Jewish life in the pre-Soviet Baltics to the role of the CIO in developing the New Deal order, its a lot to chew on, but well worth it. As I think we could be on the verge of a new labor "spurt" in the next decade, it's rather timely too.
