These great leaders will work to restore truth and trust to the People’s House.”

But I’ll understand if you’re getting tired of my submersion in it, and if you really want me to, I’ll stick my head out and breathe in the Obama/Blagojevich scandal, but it does seem to me that the thing is being sufficiently covered throughout the blogosphere - and very interestingly, ...
