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.

Soul with that, and poesy too
'There is a sculpture carved inside the pediment atop the marble columns at the entrance to the United States House of Representatives. It depicts a woman, arm outstretched, protecting a child who is blissfully sitting atop a stack of books.
Entitled ‘Peace Protecting Genius,’ this patroness of peace protects the child from harm not with nuclear arms, but with nurturing arms, with arms of maternal love. That sculpture will be emblematic of my administration.'
-- Dennis Kucinich, quoted in Awareness Magazine in Finally, Politics with Soul: Ohio Congressman Kucinich Lights Up Presidential Race By Meryl Ann Butler
