We do not interpret willingness to question librarians, sympathize with "Intelligent Design" arguments, or fire police superintendents as omens portending The Fall of the Republic.
And when Shakespeare says "ambition should be made of sterner stuff," we say amen, because Sarah Palin and John McCain have already shown us sterner stuff.
