Doesn't sound all that amusing to me, Little Hawk. I like politics as such, but I wonder if there has ever been a group of politicians who were selfless and concerned for the welfare of the country they ran.

DougR, that flip response to Kendall's question begs another question. Since when - and until now, the answer is NEVER- does this country go to war while cutting taxes for the richest of the country? Remember 'guns and butter'? Didn't work then, won't work now. Just when and by whom does this country expect to pay the bills we are racking up?

One of the developments of the 2004 elections that flabbergasted me was the notion that the country couldn't turn a president out of office while there was a war going on - but that war was started by that president on a purely elective basis. He gets rewarded with another term for having gone to war??
