...til Birnam wood comes to Dunsinane...

Cindy McCain endorsed a Democrat.

All of Shakespeare's tragedies concluded with a bloody justice, the victims honored, the villains destroyed by their own hubris.

"Despair thy charm and let the angel thought still have served tell thee. Macduff was from his mother's womb untimely ripped..."

Untimely ripped. Shakespeare wrote about real life, and although much in the United States States has been lost and cannot be restored i feel very much as if we are in the last act.
