Juliet Eliperin notes:

When the House Republican Conference decided on Nov. 17 to make sure that a possible indictment by Texas prosecutors would not cost House Majority Leader Tom DeLay his leadership post, Rep. Zach Wamp of Tennessee had the temerity to ask if the voice vote could be recorded so that the public could learn how many of his GOP colleagues were invested in protecting the controversial leader.
Wamp's motion was rejected by a resounding chorus of "No's."

Nora Jacobson describes her post-2000 election move to Canada, urging Americans not to expatriate. The full article is worth reading:

Although I enjoy my work and have made good friends here, I've found life as an American expatriate in Canada difficult, frustrating and even painful in ways that have surprised me. As attractive as living here may be in theory, the reality's something else. For me, it's been one of almost daily confrontation with a powerful anti-Americanism that pervades many aspects of life. When I've mentioned this phenomenon to Canadian friends, they've furrowed their brows sympathetically and said, "Yes, Canadian anti-Americanism can be very subtle." My response is, there's nothing subtle about it.
