While we (the US) are not totally responsible for the killings, we (the US) bear at least SOME responsibility for what is going on and how it continues (including deaths) - at least as long as we are involved and probably for some time after that. Getting involved in the first place made it our (the US's) responsibility.

So I'm thinking...
What if Bush replaces Cheney with Rice? He could do it.
Could we see Hills versus Condi in '08?
That would be something to see.

Lol! I shouldn't, because God knows you men have ****ed things up long enough, but ......

Truly, I think an Obama/Rice run would be verrrry interesting.

DEM VOW ALREADY BROKEN: HOUSE SETS 4-DAY WORK WEEK
Sun Jan 07 2007 15:03:38 ET

Democrats ran to expand the work week in the House to 5 days.

But guess how long that lasted?

Not even one week!

"Culture Shock on Capitol Hill: House to Work 5 Days a Week" front-paged the WASHINGTON POST in December.

Majority leader Steny Hoyer said members of the House will be expected in the Capitol for votes each week by 6:30 p.m. Monday and will finish their business about 2 p.m. Friday.

Explained the POST: "Forget the minimum wage. Or outsourcing jobs overseas. The labor issue most on the minds of members of Congress yesterday was their own: They will have to work five days a week starting in January."

But on the morning after the night before, on the first full week of the new congress, Hoyer has pulled back from his vow!

A Hoyer press release obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT boldly declares: "Monday, January 8, 2007: The House is not in session."

Hill sources claim The House is taking Monday 'off' this week, because of the championship football game between Ohio State and the University of Florida.

And, of course, the following Monday is the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

100 hours...starting...soon

Developing...

I could be wrong (didn't follow any links), but I believe it is just for this week.

What is stupid, according to the Orlando local news last night, is the reason for taking today off: so that the congressmen from Florida and Ohio can watch the BCS title game tonight.

Can anybody say swing states?

Why do I get the feeling that for the next two years we're going to see endless posts reporting on trivial non-issues as someone desperately tries to find something to discredit the new congressional leadership with. Pathetic.

Because much of the last six years have gone similarly and both sides want to see what the view was like from the other perspective.
