Last night in America: Millions of heads, unsleeping, staring at night-darkened ceilings, feeling their souls take on the color of the night that surrounds them... First: "Impeachment is off the table"... Next: Giving Bush his war-funding bill, gutted of all timelines... Now: This, this FISA monstrosity that grants legitimacy and legal cover to the impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors of a power-drunk administration...

Inside those heads, names.... Webb... McCaskill...occasionally burst, illuminating the internal darkness with the hot, searing flames of a collective trust set afire by an incendiary betrayal... Casey...Klobuchar... why?... Why?... WHY???
