On the eve of the elections of 2010

While I welcome a return to divided control of the federal government, I don't really have any illusions that this will put this country back on a sound financial footing.
Obama's transformation will be devilishly hard to undo, and I'm not sure that we can keep up the spirit of the people calling him to account going strong for the years it will take to accomplish it. One thing I'm sure of is that Evil never sleeps, while human beings have a remarkable capacity for self-delusion.
