The hysteria over Obama's former pastor's attacks on America shows we're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism.
  • Thank you, Fester!

    Now I'm inspired, and a bit more optimistic!

    I appreciate that!

    Lord knows I need all the optimism I can get these days.

    I don't know what to think about McCain. I want to think that even he'll be an improvement (faint praise, of course), but I just don't know.

    He certainly seems a less of a hollow man, for what that's worth, but I fear his militarism.

    Powerful narcotic it must be to have all that power, especially if you're the sort who's predisposed to find pretense to exercise it.

    But you're right, it's an eternity (in campaign time) between now and November, so we trudge along, with hope, hard work and sobriety.
