"Principiis obsta; Finem respice." Olaf Rotkohl thinks that the pursuit of power over others is in itself a corruption, and those who seek such power are fundamentally corrupt. This space is dedicated as part of the constant challenge to those who seek to wield authority over the rest of us, keeping them on notice that they exert power only as it is granted to them by the people.

Some Sunday Reading: Father Andrew Greeley, James Wolcott
Father Andrew Greeley pulls no punches. Check out "How Long Can Bush Get Away with Lies?" in the February 25 Sun Times and also "Big Lie on Iraq Comes Full Circle"published nearly eighteen months ago on his website. James Wolcott deals with Ann Coulter in "Lipstick Fascism." She's the "stringbean queen" of "trash punditry," and Jeff Gannon/James Guckert is the "commando call boy." It'll make you smile and sometimes that's a powerful thing.
