If Rangel Indeed Departs…

It isn’t clear at the moment whether he’s gone or his opponents are just applying pressure.
From the standpoint of those who care about the country, here’s Rush offering One Little Victory:

The video quality is sad, but Wikipedia has a clip in .ogg

A certain measure of innocence
Willing to appear naive
A certain degree of imagination
A measure of make-believe

A certain degree of surrender
To the forces of light and heat
A shot of satisfaction
In a willingness to risk defeat

Celebrate the moment
As it turns into one more
Another chance at victory
Another chance to score

The measure of the moment
In a difference of degree
Just one little victory
A spirit breaking free
One little victory
The greatest act can be
One little victory

A certain measure of righteousness
A certain amount of force
A certain degree of determination
Daring on a different course

A certain amount of resistance
To the forces of the light and love
A certain measure of tolerance
A willingness to rise above

    He ain’t going anywhere. He’s just scurrying back under the sink ’til the light goes off.

    Before dancing on Charlie’s grave, someone needs to put a wooden stake through his heart to make sure he stays in the coffin.

    @LFOD,
    Tut, tut: this blog doesn’t wish harm upon anyone, even in jest.
    I want all of these creeps to die very old and certain in the knowledge that their ideas were utterly false.
