Two Heartbeats Away...

Here's to Nancy Pelosi, the new Speaker of the House, and to better days ahead.

Well, a couple of weeks ago I was talking to my good friend, the Smarmy Hobo himself, about the state of democracy in our Homeland. I think the 2000 election wasn't stolen so much as handed to Junior. 2004, on the other hand, was a travesty truly worthy of boycotting Diebold. So what now, my dear Hobo? He theorized the puppet masters might throw us a bone, let the Demmies win one little one before Jeb is repaid in 2008.

No! I say, No No! Surely America has spoken! Surely the future indictees have been given a thumping! Now all the Demmies have to do in the next two years is get us out of Iraq, curtail the spiralling deficit, raise the minimum wage, slow global warming and repair our reputation with our allies. Then they can win in 2008. Assuming the terrorists don't choose to strike again - then all bets are off.

But I do have some good news... The Iraq Study Group is out there somewhere - hopefully they're studying and not staying up all night listening to their crazy rock n roll and doing each others' hair. I hear they're going to give us a way we can win the war - a silver bullet. Or is it a magic bullet? I don't know - whatever killed JFK, that's what we need...
