I spoke with an editor friend today. A segment on yoga, which was supposed to air on NBC Nightly News and included one of our contributors was bumped. It was easy to see why — Wall Street’s meltdown, the upcoming election. A lot of news happening right now — most of it pretty bad.

As bad as the last eight years. “Whatever happened to the country we used to live in,” I asked her?

Bush has done so much damage, that country seems irretrievably gone.
