History in the Making

It’s difficult to see turning points when they occur if they are not large events. Only later does the thread appear. But today might be different. Here’s some of what happened today:

The United States Senate proved unwilling to pass a measure restoring habeas corpus.
It also refused to articulate any direction regarding the tragedy in Iraq.
It did, however, manage to pass a resolution expressing unhappiness with a newspaper ad.

At the same time, the President held a news conference expressing confidence in the US economy.

While these events were transpiring, the US dollar fell to parity against the Canadian dollar.
