Haven't seen that in years. To bad it got cut off. I'll have to get the dvd.

Yeah, that was quite a good little speech Chaplin made in that film.

Democracy, it has been said, is the worst political system there is--except for all the others.

It's the best hope we have, until we can come up with something better. I just wish we still had it in the United States. The Congressional turn-around gives me some of that hope.

Bush stole the last two elections, with voter roll manipulations first in Florida, then, in 2004, similar shenanigans in Ohio. We'll see how things go after the 2008 elections, but, when a person and his cabal steal elections, look what happens:

The single worst President and executive branch in American history. Pathological liars, all of them. Denial of global warming. Tax breaks for the rich and richest. Reduction in benefits for the poorest and least able. You know the score if you've been watching the game. Only this is not a game; this is real life.

If Kathleen Harris and Jeb Bush and the Republican party had not played criminal games in Florida in the 2000 election, and did not have a conservative Supreme Court on their side, Al Gore would be in the middle of his second term, and we would not be embroiled in Iraq.

Think of the 100's of thousands of lives saved, not to mention the over 1.5 _trillion_ dollars this monstrous, hideous debacle will have cost the taxpayers before we can disengage. And Osama still walks around in his protectorate of western Pakistan, a country we're supposedly allied with. I suspect the intelligence community knows exactly where Osama is and could take him out tomorrow if they wanted to. But they don't--it's a strategic thing, you see.

Bush, Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al are genocidal war criminals and should be imprisoned for life for their crimes against humanity.

As Kurtz said in The Heart of Darkness, "The horror. The horror."
