The good news is that the Democrats one in the House, Senate, and most governorships.
The bad news is that it's the Democrats who won in the House, Senate, etc.
I think even the republicans are starting to admit that there was a problem. Even my FATHER was starting to break down a bit. Not without lots of help from me. Anyhow, folks around me are calling Bush a lame-duck president for the rest of his term. Coming up to the elections, Nancy Pelosi (the House Majority Leader) has been going on the offensive, and I wouldn't be surprised to see some top Bush administration officials in some really uncomfortable hearings in front of some people asking some tough questions.
In my opinion, Rumsfeld should be in jail, and I'm not the only to think so. What he did is criminal and should be heading to the Hague. You'll never get Bush there, but hopefully Rummy... Again, I'm not the only one to say so.

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
f*ckin 'ell, He's Rene Descartes !!!

How the hell could so many people have fallen for that kind of bs boggles my mind. I don't get it. I can only guess that people want to trust in their "leaders" and give up all common sense and reasoning to them because I don't think most people are evil enough to actually agree with the rummies and bushes of the world were they to think about it for 5 minutes. They just want to have faith that someone from their own country could never be hitler-esque. Unfortunately that is very naive.
Here's one I remember. Most everyone fell for this too:
"It is unknowable how long that conflict [the war in Iraq] will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months." -in Feb. 2003
just brilliant. One explanation for that statement is lead the people on with a false sense of hope and then figure out what you're going to tell them down the road...cross that bridge when you come to it.
The other explanation for that statement is that the bastard doesn't have a clue. The rest of the time he spent trying to explain off why his dominoes kept falling.
Smoke and mirrors folks. Again....Shakespeare was right.
