Oh, Thank Heaven for the End of 2007?

This might be the sentiment of some. And, I confess, I am tempted to adopt this feeling as my own. It was a full year. It began with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales under fire for the dismissal of several U.S. Attorneys. It ended with the horrible assassination of Benazir Bhuto. In between were events weighty and trivial, from the confirmation of a new Attorney General to the ups and downs of twenty-something actresses too young to remember the inauguration of the actor President.

Tonight marks the end of the first full calendar year completed by this web log. I am proud that this blog has remained constant amidst a sometimes tumultuous personal schedule.

I am especially pleased that I have been able to keep abreast of the reaction to the new book called The End of America, by Naomi Wolf. And, too, I have advocated continuously for the impeachment of R. Cheney, seeing him as a violator of the Constitution. (And at this time I thank anonymously D.S. and R.C.S. for their early and timely signing of the Robert Wexler petition urging the Judiciary Committee to conduct hearings in this regard. They know who they are. )

So, A.D. 2007 ends quietly but with activity presaging greater activity. May we be even more vigilant and more energetic in our protecting of this democratic republic known as the United States of America.
