ON THIS DAY IN 2004, President George Bush stated that Iraq is "a catastrophic success." In some ways, he was exactly correct despite his usual poor choice of words. I think he meant it was a catastrophic success from the U. S. point of view. Catastrophic, yes, but a success?

I fly to Boston this afternoon to go swimming in Rockport - probably my last time in the Atlantic Ocean in 2007.

The Larry Craig watch is on. The likely scenario is that he will resign on Friday afternoon, especially as it is the Friday before Labor Day and his crime will fade away more easily. But I would like him to stay on as the agitation and squirming of the Family Values crowd is a lot of fun to watch. It's also amusing to watch Tom DeLay in interviews state how bad the Democrats are. I like that. Larry Craig himself is the first to blame Bill Clinton. Bil Clinton has not been blamed for Pearl Harbor or Lindsay Lohan problems yet but in time, and with more Larry Craig coverage, he can be. Bill Clinton must be behind all moral problems confronting certain hypocritical Republican Family Values people.

This morning I'll be talking about one of the saddest love songs of all time - "After The Ball" by Charles K. Harris. Why didn't these sad lovers communicate, and why did he remain true to his "cheating" woman?

TOMORROW, Friday, August 31, is one of my happy days - another great anniversary day as on August 31, 2004, the Cleveland Indians beat the New York Yankees 22-0 (twenty-two to zero). I was living in midtown Manhattan and was the MOST JOYOUS ONE in the pub. Good times were had by one.

The next iPod might be announced on September 5. I hope it finally has a lot of memory and is like the iPhone in glitz.
