A Truly Sad Day

[Botafogo]

Newsguy (and everyone else), the part of all of this that REALLY bugs me is that you have all of these people who say that "the American People" loved Reagan and support Bush but forget that those same people elected Clinton twice and 51% of them preferred Gore to W even though they KNEW Gore was a pompous, stick up the butt policy wonk.

America is about diversity, dissent and the marketplace of ideas. When people just assume that everyone else thinks like they do is when I start to simmer.

To ME the really big story of this week is that the democracy that our boy and girls fought and died for to give to the Iraqis will be structured as follows:

Proportional parlimentary representation by party, NOT winner take all by district, and 25% of the seats are reserved for women. Oh, everyone will get nationally supplied health care as well....

I would love to hear Wolfowitz, Rumsfield, Ms Rice and W explain THAT to the folks.
