    bye bye

    I'm speechless. Dumbfounded. etc.

    No $$ for Dems. I'll be working on and donating to international HR issues.

    I don't know which is worse, that I actually got excited about the Dems last election after years of agnosticism, or that we now have to rehabilitate narcissistic Ralphie.

    Not quite, though. Anyone who says there is no difference between R and D after the Bush years isn't paying attention. There's just not enough difference.

    I hope the tone at Yearly Kos was toned down from the full throated triumphalism that seemed to reign before the FISA vote.

    The defecting Dems have driven a wedge that may spit the left enough to lose the WH. They probably think they're moderate and bipartisan. Maybe, but strategically they're also profoundly stupid. Which is much worse than being wrong on the issue, of course.
