Where to start, what to say?

I suppose this is where the adventure begins: words I will be held responsible for from this day forward. Self-censure may well become a daily ritual, one which will curb this otherwise loquacious tongue (the fingers are not so eloquent, they require a few exercises before their flexibility keeps pace with outrage, frustration, humor and giggles).

Right. Enough with trying to wax eloquent.

A little time spent this afternoon reading other blogs, spent the most time reading about the violation of the Congresses "constitutional" right to privacy by the Executive branch. I have to wonder what it is that brings together a divided Congress against an effrontery of overreaching Executive powers. Suspicious as it may be, the only thing I can think is that they are hiding something, probably a deep-seeded sense of guilt about the rotten, rank corruption that has set in like damp rot, something that can't be masked cosmetically with a little paint and soft lighting; corruption this set would require a razing to the foundation to fix.

And that's only the Congressional Branch. I wonder how incredibly impossible a task it would be to try to correct the course of the Executive Branch. I'd venture to say that the Executive Branch operates more like a Monarchy - dare I say Theocracy? Really what ever happened to the separation of church and state even as a mere concept, let alone practice? - where GDub prances around preoccupied with ego instead of taking a good whiff of what's really going on. Me thinks there is something rotten in the state of Denmark...

That being said, the most articulate discussion I've found is from Jack M. Balkin's blog. I recommend you read:
