Quote of the month
From Ivan Ilyin writing at
The Belmont Club:
I was on talk radio today and a kind of sadness seemed to hang in the air; a realization that something has gone missing � perhaps forever. It was overlaid by an angry shame that the president � whatever or how little you thought of him � could be shrunk to such a size, and by extension the country he represented.
It�s an atmospheric thing. Suddenly, without any warning, Washington no longer seems so much like the center of the universe. Those who inhabit it, who understand status even if they know nothing else, feel the demotion. Now it�s as if people got up this morning determined to understand why the world seems so much bigger and their offices so much smaller.
Much more at the site - quite a well written analysis.
