Keep Hope Alive!

So I'm watching LOTR: TTT (Dad and I didn't finish on Super Bowl Sunday), studiously avoiding the TV coverage of mini Tuesday. Currently the scene is Helm's Deep, just before the battle between 10,000 orcs and a few hundred people of Rohan:

Aragorn [to a young boy]: Give me your sword...What is your name?
Boy: Haleth, son of Hama, my lord...The men are saying we will not live out the night. They say that it is hopeless.
[Aragorn tests the balance of the obviously old, chipped sword, swings it around.]
Aragorn: This is a good sword. Haleth, son of Hama...there is always hope.

And with 15% of precincts reporting in New Mexico:

Kerry 7,209 29%
Dean 6,317 25%
Clark 6,204 25%

Go Howie! If you believe in hope, and in changing this country, please consider giving a little cash to the Dean campaign.
