Dare we feel hopeful that the madness is ending?
With the slow motion train-wreck of the Abramoff case, Fitzgerald, DeLay's problems in Texas, the "let's bomb al-jazeera" memo, Iraq war, Katrina, shrubs approval rating sliding into the sewer, and the 06 elections just around the corner it appears the repukes are starting to eat their own.

Dare we hope that THIS finally will be the end of the neo-con's? Or will bush be "forced" to take pre-emptive action against another country to burnish his war prez creds?

4. I disagree.
Greed is not "cured" by education. It's a base human characteristic, unaffected by either formal education or how much reading a person does. Only self-reflection can "cure" greed, and that's something right-wingers really don't like to do.

6. Good point. Education is much more than knowing the square root..
of the cosine.

3. It all depends on how it goes over the next few months
and if the Neocons try to pull off any more terrorist attacks before they fall.
