On the President-Elect

For a variety of reasons, I do not wade into express talk of politics here on MH Blog, though that surely is not because I deem it irrelevant to the medical humanities.  As Deborah Stone argues persuasively, politics and policy are deeply, fundamentally, and inherently connected.  (So too is politics and public health, for that matter).

In spite of my choice to eschew talk of politics per se, it would be absurd to permit the presidential election to pass by without noting it here, so let me offer my own congratulations to President-Elect Obama.
