"Keep your eyes on the prize."

[Zorbuddha]

Wise words to remember today, with all the battles and choices and distractions.

Maybe it is the BushCo plan to overwhelm us with scandal and bad policy and poor decision-making in order to factionalize the opposition? If the political struggle gets too chaotic, maybe it will undermine the good fight?

Focus on the salient issues, and like Molly Ivins said, pay attention to what Bush does - not what he says. "Deeds not words, Mr. President" is not a bad war cry.
