Where the HELL are the prosecutions, of the REAL criminals, Mr. President (and more importantly, the convictions)? You’re doing the Lynndie England thing here.
Welcome to Post Tenebras Lux
A blog dedicated to the notion that, when it comes to politics, it's just got to be better to light one small candle than to keep shooting in the dark.
This blog consists of the personal political maunderings of, well, me. The term Post Tenebras Lux is Latin, meaning "after darkness, light." It was originally the motto of the Protestant Reformation (update: although, as of April, 2013, it is now also the title of a reasonably well-received movie). And although this blog is not in any way based in or concerning either Christianity or religion in general, I shamelessly horked the Calvinists' motto because I love the notion of progress being akin to the collective struggle to awaken from a great darkness.
