As Winston Churchill said:

you can always count on America to do the right thing... after she has exhausted every other possible alternative.

We have a ways to go yet.

The political process really disgusts me.

On the urbanists listserv awhile back, a writer from Idaho made the comment that this election is perhaps as important as the elections in 1860 and 1932, where the future of the country is at risk and the choices key, stark and vital. Now I don't think, at least yet, that Barack Obama is at the caliber of a Lincoln or an FDR, but he is far and away ahead of McCain.

Meanwhile, the National Republican Campaign Committee favors dependence on oil.

Smart.
