The controversy over my colleague General Wesley Clark's comments on John McCain have generated a lot of media comment, much of it negative. I have known General Clark for many years: we served in the same Army and for the same country. He's a patriot. So to suppose that somehow Wesley Clark would denigrate John McCain's service to his country, while praising his bravery during the time that ... [link]

What do you think?
Besides the flat out dumb tactical mistake of General Wesley Clark’s statement about Senator McCain (if I were running against Senator McCain, I would do everything I could to avoid the topic of military service…..), it was just stupid to say that Senator McCain lacks “executive experience.” It merely raises the question, what “executive experience” ...
Obama Surrogate Wesley Clark Goes after John McCain, His Patriotism and War Record
General Wesley Clark … SHAMEFUL!!! Did Wes Clark’s hateful comments against Republican Presidential candidate John McCain in effect do just the opposite than what was intended? Clark, in his lack of judgement has actually exposed Barack Obama for the not ready for prime time Presidential candidate that he truly is. If Clark states that McCain’s service to his country is not a qualification, ...

The Bad Plus 1 featuring Kurt Rosenwinkel @ Society for Ethical Culture
The guitar-piano-bass-drums quartet is rarer in jazz than you'd expect. There's this classic joint from the Wynton Kelly Trio plus Wes Montgomery, of course. And there's Grant Green with Sonny Clark , although those records sat in the vault for years. There are others, to be sure, but I'm actually having a bit of trouble coming up with more than a handful of classic, swinging jazz ...
Gen. Wesley Clark: Bush's Third Term
This year, we're facing the most important election in a generation. As Americans, we must ask ourselves which candidate will bring about the change our country so desperately needs. In my opinion, Barack Obama is the only candidate with the judgment to move our country forward. The disastrous consequences of George W. Bush's poor judgment over these last 7 1/2 years are all too apparent. ...
