What do you think the "thing that is brewing in Washington" will be?

[1956]

Russert said something like that on The Today show this am. Anybody have an idea? Is it Cheney's resignation? Or the group of them jumping ship? Another Fitzmas? Popcorn please!

1. A shitload of Republicans being indicted and going to jail.

I can't wait for the shit to hit the proverbial fan. Come on Jack! Squeal! Squeal for me!

The sounds I want to hear when it blows up:

Loud ear-piercing screams and boxes of junk rolling down my steps!

:D

3. I have been waiting since 2000

to hear exactly that!!!!

2. Russert said it hunh...

In a perfect world....Fitzmas...

Resignation another dream...more rats fleeing the sinking ship...

4. Iran and then Rice becomes Vice.

Well Bush likes to do odd things.This would set her up to run from a good place. She said she does not want to run but they never tell the truth. The war by air would be fast and over and Bush could ride out on his white horse as the hero he so wants to be.

7. Remember "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" by James Thurber?

"Pocketa -- pocketa -- pocketa..."

WALTER MITTY • Fictional Character

Mitty appears in the short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, written by humorist James Thurber and published in The New Yorker in 1939. Mitty is a meek and henpecked husband who daydreams of being a daring surgeon, heroic pilot and dashing naval commander ("Throw on the power lights! Rev her up to 8500! We're going through!"). The story was a mere 2100 words long, but the character struck a chord and "Walter Mitty" has become popular shorthand for any timid soul who dreams of a more dashing life. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was made into a 1947 film with Danny Kaye as Mitty.

I do recall that movie.

5. War on Iran

It's coming....they are secretly planning for it right now,I'd bet money on it. Anything to boost the idiot in thief's poll numbers back up.Warmongering bastards. Repukes need help to keep their seats in the upcoming election. War is all they can run on,it's all they know.

It makes me sick to think of what is going to happen in the next few months. They haven't finished destroying our country yet, or any other country for that matter. :grr:

6. sadly - DIngDingDing... we have a "winner"

9. I'm scared

And I freely admit it. I'm scared that Bush is going to use some pretext (like he hasn't already built up a backlog of them) to do something so completely stupid that all that has come before will pale into insignificance. I can, as they say, feel it "in my water" that this is coming.

I'm scared for myself. I'm scared for my 3 year old son. I'm scared for my almost-6-month old son. I'm 38 and I don't recognize the country I live in. I was born here and, still, I don't know where I am.

I'm filled with sadness and anger at what's been done and what's being done to us. And, sadest of all, I see a lot further to fall before we hit bottom. (Never mind that we're going to hit bottom and someone'll start handing out shovels and instructions to "start digging".)

I'm scared enough that I've even started mentally cataloging what I'd do "if the balloon goes up" (to borrow a phrase). It involves spending a few hours to collect those things that are most precious to me and such records as are irreplacable, loading the car or cars and heading towards the Canadian border for a month's vacation. I figure that if I guess wrong, we can come back and go "well, that was exciting". But I don't want to be here when the hammer comes down. *sigh* :cry:

Oh wait, sorry, you're talking about the "other" Washington.
