5. why did kerry conceed before the votes were counted?
We can just say Goodbye to America, even though we all loved her. Election day was the day America died. We now live in a fascist theocracy, merely masquerading as a democratic republic, wherein votes are not even counted. There is an elephant in the room that the media is not mentioning. That elephant's name is Diebold. The Diebold tallies do not even remotely approximate the exit polls, and of course, cannot be recounted. Strangly, in all our history, the only time exit polls do not approximate the final tally is when The Son of a Bush is running and Diebold is counting. Everyone knows this elephant is standing there, why isn't anybody mentioning it? And then there is the elephant's evil twin..."early vote by mail ballots". Most Kerry supporters voted by mail, because they were wise enough to know that Diebold would cheat. In fact, the Kerry campaign informally and indirectly recommended mail ballots to their supporters, for this very reason. I voted by mail. I know my elections office got my vote in time. The day before election, I called my county elections officials to make sure they had received the "mail in ballots" from my household and was assured the ballots were received. However, this morning, the day after election, The Aizona Secretary of State's office informed me over the phone that my vote was never counted, my husband's vote was never counted, and my daughter's vote was never counted, because they were all "vote early by mail ballots", and the "mail ballots" were never counted. None of the mail ballots were counted. None!!!. Nobody was elected. The entire election was a farce of Diebold cheating and mail ballot disposal. It was much simpler to overthrow America than we thought. In a democracy, this entire election would be thrown out, invalidated for obvious fraud, and done again. America has always tried to export democracy, and now, who will liberate us, and give us democracy? I recommend that all of America strike, sell all your stock, don't go to work, don't pay your bills, consume as little of everything, (especially gasoline), as you possibly can, and run naked in the streets until our votes are counted. Or, don't, if that seems too much trouble. Shall we instead all migrate to India where they actually count votes and have all our jobs anyway? In 2008, let's just not bother with the voting farce, let's just move directly to Jeb, next in line for the Bush family throne.

11. I was starting to wonder if they were going to
leave his body rotting in Aspen.

I'm glad they didn't do that...

8. I can't remember where I saw it
But recently someone described the West Wing as "political pornography for liberals"

I love the show. This season has been much improved from last, IMO.

10. I'm loving it.
Josh is finally figuring out that he has feelings for Donna.

CJ is going to be recognized for her brilliance.

Dr. (Mrs.) Bartlett has more of a role than the first few years.

Seeing the peace accord episode and last night's show made me feel so much better.

I love that Leo is still alive. Spencer's performance in last week's episode was fantastic.
