The recent weeks seem to have been nothing but politics dominating every bit of the news. It still amazes me that intelligent people voted for those morons that are in office now. Now that the shit has hit the fan, so to speak, it’s frustrating to watch Republicans try and play off perjury as not that important. But wasn’t it important enough to impeach the last president when he perjured himself over a blow-job? We all know that the Adminstration fabricated (or at the very least distorted) pre-war intelligence. We also have the fallout from the hurricanes, the next Supreme Court nominee, insider trading and embezzlement accusations against several politicians, the religious right and the general everyday partisan bickering that occurs. Makes me wish that Gort would come down and blast em all outta Washington. I really think we need a fresh start.
A fresh start? When someone has “secretly replaced” the democrats with a real opposition party–finally? I haven’t been this happy with my own party in more than 5 years! Sure, it was a stunt — throwing the Senate into closed session — but it took balls of steel, and who knew the democrats still had any? You GO, Harry Reid!
OTOH, I think I’m gonna have to vote for a Republican for the first time in my life next week. Or just not vote. I couldn’t possibly pull the level for Ferrer–he makes Dinkins look like a bloody genius!
