For the first time ever in my life I truly know the sensation people have referred to when they have said “is it all a dream”? Numerous times in the last 48+ hours I’ve looked at a television screen or seen the front page of a newspaper and wondered “am I dreaming?” I really hope I’m not, but if I am I don’t want to wake up.
LoL … can you imagine what runs through pedugger’s mind every morning? They wake up to their worst nightmare. It’s MARVELOUS!
I just want the troops home. And I want Iraq to have a plan.
So while I’m so thrilled with Dems taking Congress, I wish I could have the red pill and never have experienced the past 6 years of Bush extremism.

Nothing, I imagine. I get the feeling that they’re kind of like those androids in Star Trek that wander around helpless when Kirk destroys their central computer. “Landru, guide us!”
I just worry about the conservative’s ability to work the media. That nonsense with John Kerry got kept alive for DAYS, and it meant basically nothing. Despite Democrats’ making relative gains here, people at the top levels of the media are simply much less suspicious of GOP spin about Democrats than vice-versa.
Yea, the shit eating grin will not go away

“Nothing, I imagine. I get the feeling that they’re kind of like those androids in Star Trek that wander around helpless when Kirk destroys their central computer. “Landru, guide us!”"
They truly thought everything is as peachy outside their heads as it is inside their heads and that the Republicans would do just fine?
I got that feeling on September 1, 2001, when England beat Germany 5-1 in Munich. I genuinely questioned my state of consciousness.

It will only be necessary to “wake up” in the sense that, come January, we Democrats and progressives will have a world of work ahead of us.
I’m sure correcting the effects of over a decade of right-wing misrule will be very tiring. But at the end of the day it will be a good kind of tired.
I just heard Rahm Emanuel on NPR outlining the new majority’s plans for the first 100 hours of the new session:
-increase the minimum wage
-give the government authority to negotiate drug prices
-vote on 9-11 commission recommendations
-pay as you go rules for new spending
Zow!
Meanwhile, bush and the cronies will try to force feed as much crap as they can before January.
Oh havent you heard Duros? Theyre trying to force Bolton’s nomination through in these last two months, but its being blocked. By Republican Senator Lincoln Chaffee no less. Glad to see someone on the right who respects the will of the American people.
…will try to force feed as much crap as they can…
I wish them luck. Linc Chaffee has already said he won’t support the re-nomination of Mr. Bolton, which effectively seals his fate.
Bush has stated that he is the “decider”. I guess that means that if ya drink too much cider, he’ll drink yer pee.
I know what you mean, Oliver. I’ve blogged my heart out trying to change votes for the past 2 years. I still feel a bit dazed. In a good way, tho. Definitely in a very good way.
Go Blue!
Yeah, I’m so proud of my Senator (Chafee) for sticking to his guns even though he got un-elected. I would have voted for him, but my policy this time was “No Incumbents. Period.” And it seemes to work out.
Somebody asked me on Wednesday if I won or not. I said, “Honey, we all won.”
