    Ah-ha, should have known. Yeah I don't know what the hell happened there. Sometimes the mouse in my head takes a cig break.

    You're overreacting. Gas prices will start dropping again, according to the prices of unleaded gas futures I've been seeing. Crude oil has dropped to $96 per barrel as the effects of speculators lessen and that should continue. Newspapers will die, but journalism will continue. The electorate is not as polarized as you have been led to believe and the "culture war" is a figment of some idiots' imaginations. (See also: this book.) The leadership problem will be handled in early November. Natural disasters .... get serious. You can't blame those on anybody.

    This is the most corrupt administration in North American history,
    in Secretariat-like proportions.

    I'm not discounting how corrupt this administration is, but your lack of historical perspective is showing.

    Hardly. In sheer size (even adjusted for inflation), the degree to which favored insiders/contractors are benefitting from the decisions/laws pushed by Fredo and his legislative cronies is mindboggling. Makes Teapot Dome look like the Mad Hatter and March Hare playing footsie with Alice.

    Think about all the wasted time (getting into and out of airports; sorry Ms. 90 year old in the wheelchair, we need you to get up out of the wheelchair and wand you because you are lucky #50 traveler) and wasted resources (Dept. of Homeland Security) in place since '01. Damn right the terrorists won.
