Quote of the Day~"See you at the bitter end"

The title of today's Quote of the Day post is from one of my favorite bands, Placebo. The Bitter End is also probably one of my favorite Placebo songs. For some reason it just popped into my head after I read this:


A year and a half before the Bush era comes to its merciful end, cataloging its failures and pathologies has become not merely a cottage industry but a kind of mass mobilization, a task so vast that it requires the combined efforts of thousands of writers, talkers, thinkers, activists, and ordinary citizens. Every new look at the last six and a half years yields new insight into how government should not operate, another object lesson for future administrations. And one of those lessons of the Bush years is surely that potential disaster lurks behind what we had previously assumed to be a grand virtue: loyalty.
