Today, I Weep for my Country...

Speech by US Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), delivered to the Senate yesterday. It's good to see that there are US politicians who are willing to question the judgement of the current administration.

If you have the time, several of his earlier speeches are also worth reading.

you know...that's a beautiful speech. a VERY beautiful speech. I actually cried (not being sarcastic)

"May God continue to bless the United States of America in the troubled days ahead, and may we somehow recapture the vision which for the present eludes us."

Good speech.

Haven't read the rest yet as feeling too tired, it being almost 1am, and an off to bed.
