When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Journalists seem to have a thing about bloggers. We make them edgy. They think we are competing with them. We're not - at least I am not. I write because I have something to say, not because I think the Times didn't get something right. I often use news reported in the Times as a jumping off point. Without regular news, my blog would dry right up.
