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.

Who's for Kucinich?
U.S. Rep Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) gathers an unusual assortment of supporters. Writer Grace Paley who is described as a feminist and postmodernist, and is now the poet laureate of Vermont, supports him. Why? consider this quote:
People ought to live in mutual aid and concern, listening to one another's stories. That's what they ought to do. --quoted in Enormous Changes at the Last Minute:Postmodern Humanism in the Short Fiction of Grace Paley [read this honors essay by Goshen College senior Rebecca Rich for more information on postmodernism and Paley].I wonder what effect endorsement by the Vermont poet laureate has on a candidacy. It didn't hurt Jack Kennedy, who I believe was endorsed by Vermont poet Robert Frost, though they didnt publicize that endorsement much.
