Well said.

You don't get it, do you? If everyone did what I said and took my suggestions, the world would have no problems.

Exactly, which is why I wasn't reacting to the claim that we are liberal-leaning (I am one of those who doesn't consider being called "liberal" an epithet), but rather the implication, joking as it may have been, that as a board we respond to anything non-liberal with "furious anger". In fact, I dare anyone to find a board that comes close to the amount of calm, rational discussion of opposing viewpoints as we have here.

I didn't catch who said it, but someone suggested that Bush probably ordered himself a plate of crow.

And Pelosi ordered a thick slice of Texas bull. Well done.

What's on the menu? "For the president, it's probably a little bit of crow," presidential counselor Dan Bartlett told CBS' "Early Show" Thursday.

As do mine.

But I can also feel the impending decrease in my paycheck from all the new taxes we're gonna get.
