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.

Sen. Wellstone's death
Across the country, people were shocked and upset at his death. My heart goes out to Sen. Wellstone's family and the people of Minnesota -- not to mention all of the U.S., which needed his voice badly.
For an unusually large number of people, an initial thought was "Was the Administration responsible for this?" That so many think the unthinkable is not to say it's true, but that many feel the Bush team is willing to go to any lengths to get what they want. The president should be worried about the course his administrationis following.

Sen. Wellstone's death
About 11:30 a.m. today, a chartered bus carrying more than a dozen relatives to the crash site was allowed through a police roadblock on Bodas Road. There, before a makeshift memorial of bales of hay, baby's breath and pine boughs, relatives laid flowers and prayed.
