DUers, there are some very hopeful headlines just now. I think a bunch of Bush-Cheney-Rove crap we've been hoping for/working for/praying for to be over is now starting to be rectified/legally dealt with/treated as crimes/exposed to the harsh light of day... Campaign promises are beginning to be kept....

Do you see what I see? I don't know about you, but I've been so accustomed to feeling frightened, angry, and depressed about my country that it took until after midnight before all these various headers FROM JUST TODAY's DU (plus I just went looking for some other recent ones) coalesced in my mind like a big neon sign: Our troubles are far from over, but Obama and his administration could actually pull this off.
