Bruce is right (sort of)

I agree with Bruce Springsteen that we've seen some things in the past six years that, as Americans, we thought we'd never see.

Let me list a few:

A former U.S. President (Jimmy Carter) visiting Fidel Castro's Cuba.

Paris Hilton.

An ombudsman hired by the New York Times.

The New York Times ombudsman concluding newspaper did have a liberal bias in coverage of certain social issues.

Phil Mickelson winning major golf championships.

$3 per gallon gasoline

Osama bin Laden evading capture and/or death.

And, perhaps the most amazing, the Boston Red Sox winning the World Series.

See, Bruce was right.
