My Favorite Subject?

Or just the thing that's been bugging me the most lately? Often, there's nothing better than the apt words of a fine writer bothered by the same. The latest from WFB (isn't NRO great for their collection of legendary initials?) starts with this gem;

Really, you would think the Republicans had proposed to rape the Statue of Liberty. The brummagem moral fanfare imposed on the controversy reminds one of the desperation with which losers will attempt to cope with disappointment at the polls.

It's amazing how long this has gone on and I'm sure that most who punish themselves by giving time to my thoughts have heard enough of my fears regarding weak knees on the side that needs to get something done, it feels good to not be alone;

To say that these words from a master make me giddy is more than an understatement. If only I had the eloquence and clarity to organize my thoughts in the same manner.
