Since Drum left, PA has been a daily read, but never seemed to radiate the open heartedness and dispassion that makes Kevin so enjoyable for me. But you've been just that, and I want to let you know.
But this just tops it. Preservation Act II? Davies was working totally uphill, with vision but so few resources compared to the Who and the others. And such a Tory view of the world! Not a great record, but this stuff got me through some confusing times. Thanks, man.

Gonna go on the record. Akin will win the Senate. While the Party doesn't want abortion to be anything more than a position paper, Akin and MO have for years shown that they feel just the opposite. And look for other examples of the same from here on out. This is how they move everything to the right. Little by little.
