Where are the heroes

he·ro (hîr'ö) n.

A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life.

Not to mention sacrificing livelihood, reputation and career - those items our representatives in Congress care most about...

It should come as no surprise then that my new definition of a hero is Rep. John Murtha.

For a refreshing taste of heroic commentary, without the "issue of the day" whininess of all other Democratic leaders, read Rep. Murtha's comments today on the Iraqi war.

If only we had more heroes in Congress...
