This is just to say

I'm not doing very well.

I'm crying at work.

Thoughts of miscarriage keep crossing my mind. Not as in, wanting to have one, but as in, how could the baby possibly live through this?

I know that's crazy.

But when the majority of my fellow Americans have given their stamp of approval to the architects of Abu Ghraib, where can I find hope? How can I be a parent in this world?

let's face it, at times like these our only hope is to invent a time machine, go back to the mid-1800s and insist that Lincoln let the South go.

OR, just keep on keeping on, and be comforted by the knowledge that in the end, though it is difficult and at times hard to believe, progressivism always wins. If all of us do our best to do what is right, there is no doubt that the world your baby passes on to her children will be better than the one she inherited from us. Thank God.
