quote of the day

[realthog]

Maybe some of your parents or grandparents, they were born in another country without freedom of speech or freedom of worship, but they said, you know what, we know there's this land across the ocean called America, where it's a land of opportunity and a land of freedom, and we're willing to take the risk to travel to that place to create a better future for our children and grandchildren. In this audience, there are people whose parents or grandparents couldn't cast a vote, but they said to themselves you know, maybe my child or grandchild, if we march, if we struggle, maybe they may be able to run for the United States Senate, maybe they might run for the Presidency of the United States of America.

     -- Barack Obama, reported by David Sirota, speaking in Denver, Colorado, today before an estimated 100,000 audience

"we haven't had enough power to put them into jail. Yet."

Let's hope your "Yet" is justified by events . . .
