"Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things...every one! So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, Senator, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor." -- Matt Santos, The West Wing

Announcement

My dad died this morning, so I will likely not be blogging very much for the next few days.

Thanks to those of you who have filled my mailbox with your wishes. I will post my thoughts at some point, once the initial shock passes.

It's odd, because this was not unexpected. In fact, I came up only a month short of my prediction as to the date. And yet, here I am, stunned.

Today, my parents would have been married some 60-odd years. I should have figured he'd pick the most drama-queen day to die.
