WASHINGTON - Hickory, dickory dock, the Democrats beat the clock.

They passed their six-bill, 100-hour agenda with 13 hours to spare.

The last of "Six for '06" bills that Democrats promised voters in the fall
passed shortly after 6 PM Thursday, about 87 hours after the 110th
Congress opened Jan. 4.

"This was only the beginning," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.,
said at a news conference hailing her party's accomplishment more
than two hours before the final vote, which came on an energy bill.

6. I haven't been following the news as closely the last week or so and

what amazes me is the lack of coverage in the media.

7. Good news doesn't get ratings

Unleash a barrage of chaos and bullshit and everybody just tunes on in.

Sometimes I wonder if the reason great nations decline is that people just grow too bored to act responsibly. It's like the excitement of disaster is somehow preferable to the humdrum routine of things going well.

8. America is better for it!
