"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.

A Happy Day
This is my favorite image of Barack Obama so far, as a teacher. After eight years of an administration rife with dark ignorance and stupefying incompetence driven by batshit ideology, the country desperately needs a president who can, and desires to, explain and illuminate the way ahead.
As for the reports of the rifts in the McCain/Palin camps regarding her astonishing ignorance, appalling temperament, and skanky behavior, I'll leave that to Fox to elucidate.
And then there's the towel story.
I don't know if these are true or mainly attempts to divert blame from McCain for choosing so, so badly, his running mate, but either way, it reveals how fractured and vicious the Republican party is. Thank your lucky stars that enough people in this country finally woke up.

That's a great picture! Oh, happy day!!! I'm still celebrating!!!
I didn't get a chance to talk with you on election night, but I wanted to thank YOU Olaf for keeping me sane for the past eight years with your great conversations and blogs. You're a genius, and I'm glad you're my friend.

You bring tears to my eyes. Thank you for your kindness and friendship. I wish we were not so far apart. Face to face is so much better than telephone. Love is a great connector in any case.
I love you too! Yay! Love!
Indeed! Love, love, love...
Well, I just noticed that his chalkboard says, "Relationships Built on Self-Interest: Corp, Banks, ...." Can't read the rest. Ha! Good stuff.
I really think it might say "GOP." Seriously!!!
