Spoke to soon, on the 18th. I had thought that the Senate might show more cojones than they did, and trash the Judge Shedd nomination. But no, they rolled over in the name of "Collegiality". Now let's see how collegial the rEPUgs are about allowing some of the Dems ideas/suggestions to come to the floor are in the 108th Congress.

And in the Overreaching on the Environment Department...it's now time to buy that gas mask. No not because their is a new terror-of-the-day-color from Tom Ridge and the Homeland Insecurity Department, but because Dumbya has decided to begin scrapping one of the best pieces of Law to come from the Nixon Administration (one of the crown jewels of Nixon actually). The Clean Air Act. Soon we'll all need respirators to breath and we can be safe in all weather and terror conditions. Perhaps GeeDubya is a "man foresighted", and we really knew it not. Nah, he traded Sammy Sosa.
