No blockquote. Best read in toto.

Another reason why bloggers rule and pundits drool: Northrup doesn't have any access to power to worry about, just his eyes and his ears and his mind and his fingers to work with.

(Another of his entries, referred to in the post linked above, about expecting the President to do the job of the President, is possibly the best weblog post ever.)
