Jimmy Breslin retired from column writing in 2004, but he can still whip out one hell of a column when he gets in the mood. Read this one, via Avedon.

Yes, that was really good. If only it had been written before the 2004 election. It’s too little, too late. At 61, I am too tired to fight this battle that I have been fighting since 2000. If the young people see no reason to fight for the U.S Constitution, then they will get the country they deserve. I fought my battles and am proud of what resulted in winning many of those battles. But, I have no more energy to do battle while most everyone with the power to make the necessary changes dithers away.
A good column by Breslin.. In a similar vein..last week my town had it’s first fallen hero brought home to rest. A young man who survived a year and a half after graduation from high school. They say he had a great potential and was able to light up a room with his presence. To bad, huh? But the bright side..Freedoms on the march!
