Well, I don't mean to be throwing cold water on the rebuilding effort. Dat gummit, we are Americans and we can overcome anything. Fix anything. Make everything better. That's always been our attitude. But usually we’ve had leaders willing to level with us, lay out the plan, and call for the shared sacrifice needed for a solution. That's what we're missing here. We hope that our government—the one tasked with the "welfare of the people" and the one that Bush, Inc. has spent nearly five years dismembering—will miraculously reconnect, come to life, like the proverbial dry bones....
I knew the Carnahans personally. We used to live across the street from them. Mel once did some legal work for me. Great Dems.
