Yo, Toadfrog, you're right. And I have a theory on it. We now have a bunch of crybaby conservatives trying to turn back the clock and get us all back in the cotton fields. In the 60's it was a bunch of folks looking thru the windshield rather than a bunch of oldsters and oldster wannabes looking in the rear view mirror. And CarolC, Junior has been way out of order since his "selection" by his daddy's Supreme Court. First thing he did was "act" as he had been elected. Ha! Then he set out an agenda that, without his little war, would have had had him in the empeachment chair two years into his presidency. Now his challenge, and those of the ruling class, is how to keep their little war interesting long enough to maybe, just maybe, get them a second term. I persoanally don't think they can do thise without one of their own doing some serious anthrax stuff, just like the what we have just seen, but when you are dealing with the ruling class, and any thing is possible since they own the anthrax and just about every thing else on this earth as well...
