Yesterday's QUOTES ...

Kos makes it clear that he's a supporter of an Obama Civil War within the Democratic Party:
... she [Clinton] doesn't deserve "fairness" on this site [dailyKos] ... ... a lot like with Republicans; we're not supposed to believe our lying eyes as they accuse the Clinton camp of doing what the Obama camp (and the dailyKos crowd) are doing themselves.

Hope you weren't expecting optimism:
Things fall apart, and the center doesn’t exist.


... ah, nothing plus nothing produces books about nothing:




The Western US may be the only place in the world where the connection between trees – or more precisely upland forests – and water supply is not recognized. ...


Solzhenitsyn did speak frankly, and now from our vantage years later we can fully appreciate his powers of observation. He said, for one thing: A decline “in political courage may be the most striking feature that an outside observer notices in the West today. The Western world has lost its civic courage, both as a whole and separately, in each country, in each government, in each political party . . .”



Curriculum to actually support physicians as moral and ethical leaders in society are largely absent ...

... in the concentration camp in Guanatanamo Bay: the slow, deliberate murder of an innocent man, who is being killed with the collusion of oath-breaking physicians. ...

Anyway, better late than never.... perhaps.

As for Iraq, after the president’s rationale(s) for the war in Iraq fell apart, the White House crafted a post-hoc rationalization for the invasion — the United States was committed, above all else, to spreading democracies and toppling dictators across the globe. He didn’t mention any of this before the war, but only because he was really busy. Or something.
