"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.

One Final Post for Today...
You will vote...Look into my eyes! You will vote, you will vote, you will vote.
Who you vote for, that's your business. But for the sake of the nation, participate. Then I can rag on you for another four years, whatever happens. If you don't play, you don't get to bitch.
The Downside of Voting Early, However
I thought this campaign season was interminable enough, but if you vote early, it's even worse. Now I wish I had enough Xanax and Vodka to put myself into a coma until Wednesday next week...except that I'd miss my neighbor's party on Tuesday night to watch the returns. Okay, just knock me out until Tuesday afternoon.

Why Not Pile On...
...while the Repubs devour their own?
I thought there still might be a crumb of respect for McCain left me even after this rotten campaign, but there isn't. He's morally bankrupt and a loser. He might have had a legacy to be proud of, but he burned it in the fires of his ambition. I hope the defeat next week is crushing, brutal, and massive, taking the maximum of down-ticket Republicans and starting up a right-wing cannibal carnival the likes of which we haven't seen in history.
