Here We Go Again?

As you will remember I try to stay out of American politics. It is a combination of not being sure what the hell is going on, and, I have to admit, a disgust with what I do understand of what is going on.

Take for example the recent Ann Coulter quotes about John Edwards making the media rounds. It is just so tawdry and undignified. I guess I just expect better of public figures, especially those who are attempting to influence us. This is how you get people to vote for your party?

What happened to dignity? What happened to statesmanship? What about being polite, for chrissake?

I am more and more convinced that the empire is crumbling before my very eyes...
