In case anyone has forgotten, the Dems are trying to win a presidency in 2008. If the Dems win Congress in '06, impeach the entire Administration and manage to install the Speaker of the House as the President (Pelosi, anyone?), it could spell political disaster for the Dems in '08. The best political course until 2008 is win one of the houses of Congress and proceed to check the Administration until the '08 elections. Either the House or the Senate under Dem control can embroil the Administration in one scandal after another until 2008, then they can run their "Had Enough Yet?" campaign and win the Presidency.

The only thing I hope for in 2009 are criminal indictments across the entire former Bush Adminstration. Unfortunately, as a "sign of a time of healing" the next administration is likely to hand out blanket pardons much like Nixon.

He's in way over his head. I almost feel sorry for him. Almost.

Sucker.

The subject line aside - When is the class-action lawsuit coming out?

Much like the Israelites wandering the desert for 40 years, all Americans currently alive will have to be DEAD before another Bush sits in the Oval Office.

And here's some gasoline!

Mary Fucking Cheney's or Traitorous Bitch's, your choice, guttersmut of a book deserves no mention, no spotlight and no "choice words" from our community. It should only dimly see the light of day from the bottom of the local bookstore's remainder bin. She deserves everything that she has done for us, which in a word is nothing.

In the words of Buzz Hauser, "I long for the day when somebody says, 'Who's Mary Cheney?'"

{sarcasm}

HERETICS!! How dare anyone think about not providing tax relief equivalent to half a tank of gas!

{/sarcasm}

It's bad enough that I still get "red-state" looks just because of who I am. But when I get them for saying that I'd rather pay more in taxes now and reduce the not only the national deficit but the actual national debt, not only do I get the look, but people I flecks of foam start forming at the corners of their mouth as they rabidly attack my position.

And sadly, no amount of economically sound reasoning can break through. It's thoroughly disgusting.

I don't know why Salon insists on using snide cynicism in an attempt at bitter irony. Call a duck a duck, and bullshit...well, bullshit.

That's a false comparison. All oil ends up on the world market, regardless of where it's drilled from. It's more convenient to keep the oil within our own borders after we purchase it from ourselves at $73 a barrel, but the oil companies who own it aren't going to give us a discount on it, just because we own the land that it came out of.

The Current Occupant (thanks G.K.) should remain and continue to make a gigantic mess of the Oval Office. I've always been an advocate of handing the Chimperor earth-moving equipment and large spools of rope. Let him go. The only thing one can hope for is that the next Administration not let this one off the hook. World Court anyone?

The rabbit represents copulation! The egg represents fertility! The whole holiday stinks of *whisper* sex!

Silly!

The "hand signal" in question is the Shaka, which is a common greeting in Hawai'i and surfers worldwide.

As someone who flashes it at friends and strangers alike, please do not confuse the Shaka with gang hand signals.

Thank you.

about the fox and the henhouse, but given the circumstances, it would end up sounding more tragic then funny.

I'm just curious.

The message I got was that you go out, you see what's out there, become grateful you don't have any of the misery you discover out there, then come home and bask in the warmth of your hearth and home.

Regardless of whether the person is married 60 years or thrice divorced, it sounds like pretty sound advice to me.

But damned funny!

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

with conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame,

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

with silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Emma Lazarus

I thought I was the only fan of So NoTORIous. Glad to see there are others out there. Anyone who can make fun of their own life is fine by me. Good Luck Tori!

The rest of y'all can just go suck eggs.

Oh to have a representative Parliament and all the instability that goes along with it. Better to not to be able to get anything done then having too much control and everything going to sh*t.

I am one sorry Nader voter.

I'm utterly dismayed that his first response wasn't, "Oh. Who? Um, could you send this back? I'm married." Followed by a wave of the left hand, flashing the wedding ring.

This child needs therapy. So does his wife.

It's not that hard to plagiarize WELL. The thesaurus is your friend as well as English 101.

Get 2 or 3 reviews together, plunder them all for the basics, then rummage through what you've got and put it together again.

That said...plagiarism is bad, m'kay?

I don't know the reason for all the quotes today. It just need sayin'.
