It's hard not to be cynical, Nicole. With all the problems that have been created either aggressively or passively in the last two years, it's difficult to even think of light at the end of the tunnel, And then again, if we do see light, it's most likely another train getting to plow the working man down.

The historians, should there be any in the future, are going to have a *field day* trying to figure out how one adminisrtaion could screw up so much world and domestic instability in such a short time and still have (if you can believe the corporate owned press) approval ratings in the 60's percentile. Hmmmmmm? Me and my Wes Ginny slide rule been workin' on this one fir a while now and can't figure it out.
I think their using some of Reagan's "fuzzy math" myself.

Now we read in this morning's Wsahingotn Post that Bush is going to cut domestic spending. ("Lid Put on Domestic Spending", Page A-1, Jan. 6th)... Ahh, like who didn't know that? He allready has. His major piece of legislation as the "Education Bill". Remember, "No Child Left Behind"? Yeah, he got up and woof-woofed all over the country patting himself on the back. Now we learn that the money he set aside to fund it, ain't there and nothin' really changed other than a philosophy that rote memory is more important than teaching people to think (shades of "Brave New World").... (Well, Bobert, what do you think happened to the money for education?) Ya' might want to check Donnie Rumsfielod back pocket, fir starters.....

Yep, the working class is gonna get a good whoppin' put on 'em here and it ain't gonna stop unless and until democracy is returned to the American people, which may never happen...

Ol' Tom Jefferson is "rolling and a tumblin"" in his grave...

Bobert

P.S. Thanky, DougR, fir coming to the rescue but I was thinkin' there fir a moment, "Danged, Bobert, right-winged? Well, if so, just give yir buiddy Georgis Porgy a call and tell him to call off the war..."

Nevermind...
