I know there have been several diaries that have pointed out the hypocrisy of the "attack the empathy" meme because of it being cited as a virtue in regard to Republican appointees. This diary examines the role of empathy in one of our nation’s most important Supreme Court decisions.

I was reading the Brown v BOE decision today. Follow below & I’ll explain why and what struck me.

This is a photo diary dedicated to those who gave the last full measure of devotion and to those currently serving in our armed forces. The photos were taken by me during a trip to D.C. over my Spring Break. I still intend to post a series of photo travelogues detailing my 4 days in our nation’s Capital. But I am waiting for summer vacation to get to work on that.

In the mean time, during this day of remembrance, follow me below the fold for a pictorial tribute to all who serve & have served....

We've all heard the figures. $10 to $12 Billion a month, $350 Million a day. But that is just the up-front cost of operations on the ground.

An occupying army. A local government under the thumb of an imperial government. Occupying forces being granted immunity from local prosecution. The local government and population up-in-arms. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

I had to laugh when I read that Governor Palin was out evoking American Exceptionalism while stumping in Carson, Ca. AP Story

"This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America," she said. "We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an America of exceptionalism."

This is my first diary. I hope I get all this right....
