Condi was elegant, as usual, on Meet the Press. Timmy asked her about the RICE2008 (just ask Google) web page and she is not yet actively campaigning. She has many fans.
Sometimes there is more wisdom on the comic pages than in the editorials, so ignore Broder, Krugman, Dowd, etc. and enjoy this from BC by Johnny Hart.
The State of Ship
An evil from the bowels of hell
Has seized our ship of state,
And broke upon its weary bow
The cruel champagne of hate.
They christened it with sinful accusations born of rage
Then shook their fists in History's face
And wrote a brand new page.
God called a youthful man of force
And placed him at the helm,
Whom we endorsed to steer a course
That evil cannot whelm.
A superhuman task is laid before our dragon slayer,
So let's lift up our shining knight
---with all our might---
Through prayer!
