shannon_aAs we're heading into election eve here in the United States, it looks like the Republicans have regained control of the Senate, giving them an awesome amount of power. They now control The Presidency, The House of Representatives, The Supreme Court and ... it appears ... The Senate too. That's a big three out of three branches of government for the elephants.
Political reporters are claiming the victory is primarily due to the popularity of "President" George Bush, jr. who's spent an unprecedented amount of time campaigning for and raising money for conservatives in the last year.
For the life of me, I can't understand why that monster is so well-liked by a full 60% of the American people. For gosh sake, that's more than voted for him. That's even more than voted for his opponent, Al Gore, who actually won the popular vote of '00.
Yet Bush keeps pushing forward, a smile on his face, a lost look in his eyes, and someone else's words in his mouth.
To date his accomplishments include:
And 60% of the country loves him. And he's helping the Republicans to regain the Senate.
Good god.
I understand what the Germans who had not fallen under Adolf Hitler's spell felt like in the late 1930s.

To date his accomplishments include:
- Doing his best to destroy the hard line between Church and State.
- Putting the federal government back into debt and reinitiating deficit spending thanks to an ill-considered tax cut.
- Heralding the country into the worst economy that I've ever seen.
- Bringing up the threat of terrorists every time the country remembers how screwed up the economy is.
- Imprisoning hundreds of innocent Americans without a trial or lawyers or any other constitutional guarantees because their skin was the wrong color.
- Suggesting to postal workers, neighbors, and even family members that they should spy on their family and friends.
- Increasing the authority of Federal spook agencies to spy on average Americans.
- Killing tens of thousands of innocent people in Afghanistan.
- Preparing to kill tens of thousands of innocent people in Iraq.
- Undermining the authority of the United Nations, and generally ignoring the opinions of the rest of the world.
And 60% of the country loves him. And he's helping the Republicans to regain the Senate.
