To add a musical note, see this related thread. Doug, I feel bad watching you try to hold up the standard of conservative Republicanism all by your lonesome in the middle of this pack of liberals and Know-Nothings. (That last is meant to be a historical reference, not a pejorative comment.) And although Carol is likely to ask that question a few more times until she realizes you're not going to answer it (!), I for one was glad to see you say at least that you won't stand for any lawlessness on the part of Bush and his buddies. That's what I was talking about on the other thread when I said that anybody who supports the party of Lincoln and T. Roosevelt should be angry at hell at what seems to have been going on here.

The problem is that the days of Watergate are long past. No doubt a number of the people responsible for doing the investigating were also in flagrante delicto with Enron, if you'll pardon my French. And the fact that the redoubtable Arthur Andersen Co. may have feet of clay (not to mention shredders of steel) makes me wonder if the truth will ever come out.

I hope all us liberals won't have to be in the position of saying "I told you so" if it turns out that even some of what's in that article is true. But I'd prefer that to never knowing the truth. It's all very sad. <

Aloha,
