Politics again, skip if you're not interested of course.

Jane Smiley wrote a great essay on Bush the Madman, which ends like this...

>>Maybe the bums planned this mess for their own profit, or maybe they planned to profit without mess; maybe some of them regret what they have wrought. However, they all share the blame for whatever he does next. >>

...but she forgot to address the voters (and non-voters) of 2000 and 2004, and the Congresspeople who wrote the blank check. They certainly share a large part of the blame as well, whether they did it out of malice or just plain stupidity.

Hindsight is 20-20 and all that, but what we really need is a majority of voters in this country with better foresight. Even the slimmest of majorities will do, so I hope more people will get off their butts and vote for SANITY in 2008, if we even have a country left to save by that time.

I used to just consider him retarded.

But the past few years, he seems not only retarded but a real fascist.
