"We have also come to a point in this dark age where there is not only no hero in view but no alternative road unblocked." President Jonah, by Gore Vidal
I woke up this morning thinking of Kerry's bravery and why we seem not to have one without a lot of bagage (i know this is debateable, but...) in the eyes of normal corp/MSM/big media consumers, like Kennedy, Clinton, Gore, Dean, Kerry. I think we know the reasons for this.
I could swear that the afternoon I found out about Wellstone's death, the radio was on and I was still half asleep, napping or just getting up... and the tease/list of up coming stories said, "US Senator dies in plane crash, more in a moment" I think I thought to myself, Oh god, not Wellstone! Then the story confirmed my worst fear. I may be remembering that more dramaticly but that's how I think of that day.
Then I found this great artical by Gore Vidal, it's a must read.
