Standing Fast

"One feels that we are approaching such a moment now -- the mood which has dominated the nation for a decade is beginning to seem thin and irrelevant...new forces, new energies, new values are straining for expression and for release." -Arthur Schlesinger Jr.

New Additions

I added David Sirota's excellent article The People Party vs. the Money Party under the Hot Shots section. If you haven't read it yet, check it out. Especially the section on Barack Obama and his somewhat problematic tendency while in the Senate to get sucked in to the Money Party despite his People Party instinct and background.
