It's amazing how cordial people can be towards you when you've just bought the farm.

When I read these things it reminds me of the old Warner Bros Cartoon, with Foghorn Leghorn as a Shepherd and a Wolf prowling after the sheep. At 7 AM they walk to "work" together with their lunchpails and their arms around each other and when the work buzzer goes off, its off to do battle. When the workday ends they shake hands and leave work arm and arm again.

That is what is so disappointing to many of us, we expect a little bit more fire from our representatives and it to carry on past the sessions.

Death has a way of leveling the field. What amazes me is that pure devotion to one's own agenda is somehow worthy of high praise from all quarters. So the guy was devoted and unabashedly so. He was still wrong.

Well, I'm not going to be cordial. Wellstone was an enemy of the State...of Alaska. He lapped up the eco-terrorist party line hook, line and sinker. I, for one, will not miss his meddling in Alaska. Now onward to victory in November and then the opening of ANWR.

If Jesse Helms had been struck down in his prime, I doubt we would be hearing from Bill Press, Daschle, and Wellstone about his convictions, honor, etc.

They'd be dancing in the streets from Chapel Hill to the Castro district of San Francisco.
