"The only thing worse than not getting what you want is someone else getting it," Roger said in season five. In "To Have And To Hold," Don not only loses what he wants to someone else, but he also watches the defeat unfold right in front of him. This ties in seamlessly with the theme of unattainable desires and gluttony, straight from Dante's “Inferno.” (Last week episode's focused on the lust -- did the heavy-handed theme of prostitution give...

Washington traditionally boasts about its' profiles in courage. Today, facing arguably the greatest potential financial crisis in American history, politics trumps economics as officials focus on the next election instead of the public interest. The leader of the parade in profiles in cowardice is Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell with his ingenious, diabolical proposal, which avoids tough votes for Republicans and places all the blame on Democrats. It's all inside the beltway maneuvering and hard to explain, but it is indispensible for the American people to understand it so public opinion can be mobilized to stop it. Senator McConnell wants an act of Congress to give the president the authority to raise the debt ceiling on his own and then to decide where federal expenditures would be cut. Congress could overrule the president with a resolution of disapproval calculated to fail because it would be vetoed and an override by two-thirds of both houses would be a practical impossibility.

Let me begin with a confession: I voted for Arlen Specter in one of his five successful elections to the U.S. Senate as a Republican from Pennsylvania. In my defense, the vote was accidental; I didn't mean to do it, but for a reason or reasons that remain unknown to me, my finger flipped up the tab next to his name and I then pulled the lever, finalizing this mistake. Luckily, he won by more than a single vote. Senator Specter, turncoat extraordinaire, onetime Democrat turned Republican turned Democrat and finally turned out of office Tuesday at the tender age of 80, is, to me, the very epitome of the self-serving career politician who will do anything to keep his spotted hands on the levers of power.
