CharlesMurtaugh has a great column on his reaction to the New York Time's great story on the last minutes of the WTC victims.
The story isn't his tears on reading the article (you'll cry too); it is his fury at the nonreaction and paralysis that grips both parties in Washington.
He thinks, and I agree, that if they don't get off their asses there will be a lot of ex-politicians looking for work as lobbyists in the next election cycle.
