Reply #11: a variation on the fat Lady metaphor

[frogcycle]

is "it ain't over until it's over*"

While I admire your optimism, and the analogy of the concentration camp inmates who never thought they’d see justice done is powerful - it actually does spark a dim glimmer of hope - I still won't believe it's over - til it's over. My wife has a "Jan 20 2009" bumper sticker; I have difficulty looking forward to that day with any great anticipation. Until this cabal is frogmarched off to prison, I don't trust that the Constitution will avoid the shredder - or a fire in Cheney's office.

Another pithy saying by that same great orator: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it"

Let us hope that we DO get to that fork in the road, and that we DO take it.
