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.

USATODAY.com - Can Hillary be elected commander in chief?: "The United States has never had a female commander in chief. But while Clinton consistently brushes aside questions about whether she is eyeing a White House run in 2008, the pro-military views and tough talk on defense that have surprised Herberger and others might help the former first lady break one of America's enduring glass ceilings.
Unlike men, women can't[won't? needn't?] stage macho photo ops to underscore their toughness, says Marie Wilson, president of the White House Project, a non-partisan group devoted to promoting female candidates from both parties. 'How does a woman handle questions about these kinds of issues other than through her words?' she says. 'These are the kind of exchanges women have in order to balance out the perceptions that they're not tough enough.'"
