Ripples
Keeping politics and religion out of philosophy is a burdensome, if not impossible, effort.
Chief Justice William Rehnquist died today. He cast a vote that put George Bush in office and America at war.
For the first time in U.S. history "refugees" describes a sizable number of Americans. At this moment they have been deprived of aid from a government that burned billions in Baghdad and stretched its National Guard (from which the President once hid and now hides again) so thin that it is hard-pressed to help its own refugees.
The Rehnquist Court in an earlier decision made it easy to impeach a President who is now on television, asking Americans to help the people its government cannot.
The Administration has a spin going that swears help is here.
William Rehnquist died today, sending one last ripple that will cripple us: an open seat on the Supreme Court.
Once a stone hits the water there is no stopping its effect.
