Abstract
These columns span a minor writing career: from the stolen election of 2000, through September 11, 2001 and onward to the war in Iraq. They end with the consolidation of Republican power in the flawed — not to say rigged — election of 2004. Thus they chronicle the decline of American democracy in the first term of George W. Bush.
