This article says, very succinctly, what we've all been watching happening here at DU. It's a scary time in the U.S., and it's going to take one helluva Statesman to turn this thing around.

And I say "statesman" NOT because I'm sexist, but because in this fundamentalist religious/corporatist environment, I can't even fathom general, across-the-board acceptance of a woman in a position of highest power who would be ALLOWED the power necessary to turn things around. Which, by itself, is a symptom of the sad state of affairs we're facing, IMHO. Our country is moving Taliban/Right in more ways than I care to think about. Asscroft is only one symptom.
