The Onion on the GOP Majority
By Jim Dallas
Nails it, as usual:
Last week, Bush became the first Republican president to be re-elected with House and Senate majorities since 1924. What do you think?
Beverly Banks, Systems Analyst
"So they still control the House, Senate, and Oval Office? Well, at least we still have the smug, condescending attitude that cost us the election in the first place."
Edgar Mendez, Data Keyer
"Our nation may be bitterly divided, but at least our government can agree on being ultra-conservative."
Sam Howell, Credit Checker
"What's so bad about this? Could some Democrat explain it to me in under an hour, without starting to scream or cry?"
Ted Jacobs, Dentist
"Now that the Republicans run Congress, the White House, and soon the Supreme Court, they'll just have to invent some new branches of government to dominate, as well."
Leo Watts, Custom Tailor
"The fact that 48 percent of Americans voted for a boring placeholder like John Kerry is actually a really good sign for the Left."
Erika Williamson, Interior Designer
"Hold on. I'm being text-messaged orders from my Republican congressman on how to proceed next. Put clothes in dryer? Yes, Rep. Burchardt."

moderation in all things
Nothing good comes from extremism. The country will be on a better footing when the three branches of the government are more evenly represented.
On a different note:
Why did John Kerry need to be exciting? He wasn't running for American Idol. I felt he had the goods on everything else, including both acting like and looking presidential.
As long as we, as a nation, are so easily fooled by charming, good ol' boys, we're making pacts with the devil. We have nothing to lose but all we hold dear.
