QotD for 15 Feb., 2010

Upon hearing the news that Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Indiana) won't be running for re-election due to the strident partisanship in the current Congress, I'm reminded of the following:

"The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity." ---from the poem "The Second Coming" by William Butler Yeats

I really wish the best would stay and fight instead of throwing their hands up in disgust...
