When?
I've heard Lawyer Fitzgerald is investigating Karl and company for revealing a CIA agent.

I've heard there are snuff flicks from Abu Ghraib floating around.

I've heard Tom Delay has yet another conviction or crime to add to his repertoire.

I've heard Dick Cheney has a bad heart and a mother in Texas has a broken one.

I've heard heating costs are going to soar and the opinion polls are continuing to free fall.

I've learned our elections are as crooked as Dennis Hastert's dealings with the Turks.

I've heard of Downing Street and Gannon and Anwar and Schaivo.

I've heard some truth about 9/11 and lost most of my faith in our future.

I've watched a strong wind blow away the facade.

I'm just wondering when is it going to end? When are good men and women finally going to come to the aid of their country?

2. Well put. But almost the entire government has been taken over
by heartless, greedy, political hacks. A few good men and women wont cut it. We need millions.

8. They aren't going to stop until we stop them. And "them" isn't just
Bush, unfortunately. He could resign tonight and the difference it would make would be marginal. I'd still be dancing in the streets, mind you, but we'd still have a lot of work to do.

9. The average American is still too comfortable to
think about or consider revolution.

Maybe this winter when heating costs double, gas hits $4 per gallon, their weekly grocery bill goes up 25%, their credit cards require twice the payment as before & when they call their lawyer to declare bankruptcy they find out the law has been changed & they have to give everything up & sign their life away. Maybe then they'll stop worrying about the gay couple down the street & start to worry about their own economic situation.

10. I think you are right.
Most self-centered Americans are going to have to feel a direct hit. In other words, the administration is going to have to run out of lubricant.
