It Dropped So Low in My Regard

Schiavo Case: I don't think I have ever felt more contempt for Congressional Representatives Barney Frank and John Conyers than I do at this moment.

Just disgusting.

Steny Hoyer, on the other hand, is not an asshole. Listening to him, I got the sense that he has in fact thought long and deeply about this issue. I appreciated listening to what he had to say.

It dropped so low in my regard
I heard it hit the ground,
And go to pieces on the stones
At bottom of my mind;

Yet blamed the fate that fractured, less
Than I reviled myself
For entertaining plated wares
Upon my silver shelf.
