Today would have been the last day...

...of George W. Bush's term in the White House. Ah, what might have been! Can you imagine the celebrations we would have been having today...and even better, what the MSM would have been saying about him (no longer needing to be beholden to him).

1. Ah, what might have been.

Over the past couple of days I have become even more depressed thinking about the certain demise of democracy. How I wish Americans would have chosen democracy over fascism.

BTW, welcome to DU.

2. The MSM would probably start

REALLY lambasting Kerry, blaming him for everything not already attributed to Clinton.

Hyping Jeb for '08

3. Why do they need to be beholding?

It's not like Da Busher tells them anything anyway.

I've started listening to: The Cardigan's "Lovefool"
in the media's honor.

5. It's them...

From what I understand of Dante the inner circle of hell is
reserved for Hypocrites. We got dragged in by association.

10. remember Hatlo's Inferno ?

When I was a kid Jimmy Hatlo had a cartoon in the Examiner Sunday funnies where he showed all the ills befalling certain types and individuals. (If he'd been in charge of Hell) I wish I'd kept some.
