Let the Eagle Soar

Via Wonkette, John Aschcroft has resigned as Attorney General. You may recall Mr. Ashcroft as the man who lost the 2000 Missouri Senate race to a dead man, and was rewarded for his political magnanimity with the top legal appointment in the country. In a telling display of Christian charity, Mr. Ashcroft ran a well-regarded clothing drive for poor Washington statues. In the interest of full disclosure, I admit—not without regret—that he ia a graduate of my institution's law school.

In his honor, we reproduce the stirring lyrics of his now famous hymn, Let the Eagle Soar...

Like she's never soared before.
From rocky coast to golden shore,
Let the mighty eagle soar.

Soar with healing in her wings,
As the land beneath her sings:
'Only God, no other kings.'
This country's far too young to die.

We've still got a lot of climbing to do,
And we can make it if we try.
Built by toils and struggles
God has led us through.

You can listen to it here.
