No harm in having two diaries making more or less the same points.  Mine, too, was a late night stream of consciousness written off the cuff - or perhaps "from the gut" driven by a sense of outrage at what appeared to be happening in Washington.  I didn't even bother with sourcing references and quotes because things seem to be happening so quickly.  It is difficult to imagine a more destructive influence than McCain in the attempts to arrive at a coherent response.  He seems to be as much loathed and distrusted by his own side as by the Democrats, and makes Bush look ...er...almost Presidential by comparison.  (Did I just say that!!!)

The basis of a historical novel or morality tale in times to come, no doubt.

Vote McCain for war without gain
