No, this is not going to be about movies.

I notice that the Republican-controlled Congress is busy changing rules, so that the concerns of the minority party need not be addressed. Ethics committee and Finance committee, at the moment. Because they can.

Well, this nation has traditionally had a democratic-controlled Congress. One might expect that could happen again. Kinds naive to think it won't. So, who is going to feel sorry for the Republicans when that happens and their voice is simply disregarded. Right now, most federal judges were appointed by republican presidents. And now Dubya is trying to cram some real doozies down our throats.

And Dubya and his gang don't seem so good at building bridges, or consensus. There's a divisiveness in our countrie's politics right now, and I just wonder if there are any conservatives on the Board who understand why that's not going to play well for your party. There's paybacks, and then there's the likelihood that this nasty, in-your-face, because-we-can arrogance is going to help turn the pendulim around.

Frankly, I understand how my nation needs both voices in Congress. But just as frankly, I can tell you that when the pendulum does swing back, there is going to be some pain that I will enjoy watching. This is the nastiest, most arrogant and most offensive (not just to American libs, but to most of the Western world's polulation) administration anyone has ever seen. They're asking for it. Anybody think they can avoid the end game I know will come?
