I know I should be working but ...

I'm the only one here and therefore I am a Democracy of One. That's what one of my nuns in HS used to refer to herself as: a democracy of one. That must be what Bush thinks democracy is. But I don't believe that he gives any thought to much of anything at all. After all, this is the man who when asked to name the highlight of his presidency, he replied that it was the day he caught a fifty pound bass, or whatever the hell it was. And when asked at a news conference with Tony Blair what he would miss most about Blair, he said it was Blair's red ties. Uh huh.

So now we have a vote coming up in the House on a non-binding resolution on Iraq. I don't have it in front of me but it is, trust me, the crassest piece of Republican political garbage this side of a bulging barf bag. I'm not sure what the Dems are going to do, but if it was up to me, I'd tell them all to get up and walk out en masse right before the vote. It's about time the Democrats in Congress take a stand .... on something. Anything. The Republicans have turned the government into a den of thieves. The time for compromise is over. Dems: stand up and be counted. Or not be counted, that is, and walk out of this charade.
