    Once again...

    The Democratic Party of the 21st Century has lived up to my expectations: Wherever the prospect of controversy or (shudder) conflict rears it's head, talk tough and then knuckle under.

    Let's just change our name from Democratic to Amoeba-- spineless, brainless blobs of protoplasm of no use to anyone.

    Lord above, do these fools WANT to remain the second-fiddle party forever?
