I went to your blog hoping you'd be writing about this horrible future that I fear is before us. I'm taking some comfort in the commenters but I can't face another 4 years or more of this. Could Americans really vote for these dangerous fools?

I think they need to keep a tight leash on her because she is a self proclaimed maverick and they might not like the directions she runs in.

C'mon.. (Tongue FIRMLY in cheek, here)if you're not going to blame global warming on pollution, let's blame it on the liberals! Oh, and let's start telling the press what to say because they just might say something mean, and we CAN'T have that, no, no, no. And while we're at it, let's start arresting people for any potentially deviant behavior, like enjoying trips to the library or eating broccoli. Oh, and one more thing, let's just close all the libraries to make sure people no longer have access to smutty books. <BR/><BR/>Zounds...

I live in the bible belt and even I was shocked by how many times she bandied about God's name. You would have thought she built an ark and saved mankind by being elected. Separation people. I think politicians have co-opted God as if he/she is nothing more than a marketing ploy. Ugh. <BR/><BR/>And banning books? Do people like this still really exist?
