The news thing in my elevator just now said Rummy is stepping down - details to come.
Must fire up online streaming radio.
ION, Rain MUST stop. I fear flooded subways.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

CNN has called Montana for the Dems.
MSNBC concurs.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm trying so hard to avoid calling up some conservative-leaning friends and doing an "In your FACE!!!" It's much harder than I would have anticipated, given that I'm being very cautious in my optimism.
I texted one last night: Feeling Blue?
Maybe just make chicken noises at Rummy? I'm finding it very pleasurable.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
DH often sent me links to rants - and I found I couldn't read them - esp if I agreed with them. But then Ihave always believed in measured , logical response.
I am feeling very happy today, like my counry isn't quite as crazy as it felt.I'm not sure what I want, but I know I'd like to see some positive helpful things ( an actual plan in Iraq that will get people home, a move towards national healthcare , and maybe some better communications between polcie, fire, hospitals, the national guard, etc for times of trouble, both natural and the much rarer man made distaters). dreams.

What is even happening?
I get you, Cindy. I never like to read hateful rants, either, especially in the service of something I agree with. It's definitely human to wish ill on others, but I wish that those aligned with what I consider the more humanist political positions could keep those thoughts on the inside.
I'm ashamed to admit I do sometimes enjoy watching the "WOES!" sorts of posts, when I'm not sympathetic to the cause. I think probably comes from the same place that little "In your FACE!!!" feeling comes from, that Frank mentions.

I'm actually getting all teary about that the fact that the Constituion clearly works. I was truly beginning to fear for the seperation of powers.

Don't make me believe in Democracy again, Trudy. Just don't go there.
