http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061109/ap_on_el_ge/eln_elections_world_view_4 One last smirking post for the night. I and the rest of the Blue-state world have earned a smirk or two, after six years of having to watch Preznit Dubya’s self-satisfied mug: But from Paris to Pakistan, politicians, analysts and ordinary citizens said Wednesday they hoped the Democratic takeover of both Houses of Congress […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061108/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/rumsfeld_resigns_21 Rumsfeld’s gone! In a week that has seen the fall of Rev. Haggard, Donald Rumsfeld and the Republican control of Congress (and the rise of the stock market in reaction), it’s feeling less like Xmas than Hannukah come early. By my count, I’m owed another four lovely news reports before the fun diminishes! For […]

G.O.P. Moves Fast to Reignite Issue of Gay Marriage – New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/27/us/politics/27marriage.html?em&ex=1162180800&en=c48995f4ed09208f&ei=5087%0A G.O.P. Moves Fast to Reignite Issue of Gay Marriage This is an amazing twist to the Republicans’ story: To my ears, the Democrats provided no strong contention during this campaign. There is increasing evidence that the voting boxes were rigged in the last election, and will probably be again. And the “conservative base” still […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060912/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_4 Apparently Dubya used 9/11/06 to justify his invasion of Iraq (which had nothing at all to do with 9/11/01,) and – finally – to hint at an exit strategy: “America did not ask for this war, and every American wishes it were over. So do I,” Bush said. “But the war is not over, […]
