Jim Rarey's Columns

Condi in the Briar Patch

"Those who remember the Uncle Remus stories of Joel Chandler Harris should recognize this ploy as coming straight out of his story about Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby, where Brer Rabbit pleaded not to be thrown into the briar patch (his only sure avenue of escape). Brer Fox, intent on doing as much damage to Brer Rabbit as he could, then threw him into the briar patch, from which the wily Brer Rabbit scampered to safety."  Column by Jim Rarey.

"It doesn’t seem to make any difference whether a Republican or Democrat administration is in office, many of the same 'old reliables' are called back into service to 'investigate' high profile incidents when the public doesn’t 'need to know' all of the facts."  Another interesting column by Jim Rarey.

Bojinka: The Dog That Didn't Bark
