Evan Bayh is right:: "...the movie doesn't have a happy ending."

To quote Jake Gittes, the character in Polanski's CHINATOWN, "You are right. And when you are right you're right."

I don't blame him one bit for getting the hell out now. Some of us have seen this coming for years and have been preparing, accumulating water, food, cash, etc...

When your local police department can't even keep your own sister from being murdered by her ex-boyfriend although he has threatened her and been overheard... there is no hope for government, no matter how well meaning, to do much of anything. We are beyond that point. I think Evan Bayh is just recognizing what so many of us have recognized for years: Things are out of control. Not even a great president can save us now. We are into the downward spiral.

life goes on.

big diner.

He was too blue for the Pukes and too red for us. He is abominably dull as a public speaker. His wife is up to her neck in Big Pharma Board appointments. He dropped out of the 08 Dem primary because he was significantly outflanked by several other Democrats. He endorsed Hillary Clinton, who carried Indiana by the narrowest of margins. He lacked the sense of public service he should have learned from his old man. He played it safe, he kept it dull. He is a safe, dull Democrat more suited to the Secretary of State job in Indiana than to the U.S. Senator job. He was going zilch-nowhere in the Senate, it was getting him nothing and noplace fast, and so he circled a calendar date to resign in beige crayon, and out he goes.
