Hell yes. Democrats take the House AND the Senate, and Rumsfeld finally gets the boot. Best day in politics in a long time.

Cheney shot a guy and tried to cover it up, and it's barely news here. In the UK this would end a career instantly. The United States is fucking crazy.

Rumors are swirling that Cheney could face indictment in Plamegate and resign. It's on the internet, so it must be true. A good day for good news.

I catalogued every time Bush shoehorned "hate freedom" into an unrelated speech. Home ownership, cattle farming, senior fitness, Labor Day, Greek Independence. He managed it every single time. The man cannot open his mouth without pivoting to terrorism, no matter how tortured the logic required.

Ashcroft's resigned, but not before claiming he's "achieved the objective" of keeping America safe. Mission accomplished? We're in two wars! I'm just glad this lunatic is gone. Maybe he'll finally focus on his singing career.

Despite 1000+ interviews and months of evidence, Bush and Cheney keep implying an Iraq/9-11 link the commission explicitly found no evidence for. Cheney even claims he "probably" knows things the commission doesn't. Why didn't he share it with them, then? I'm equal parts furious and terrified.

Rumsfeld's out. Good riddance.

The Bush administration is going after porn, which surprises no one who remembers Ashcroft covering naked statues. My response: enjoy this portrait of Ashcroft made from pornographic images. Also, Wonkette is great and the Republibloggers criticizing it for gay jokes really need to check their irony detectors.

Bush has withdrawn from Kyoto, the ABM treaty, and the Biological Weapons Convention, and is rattling sabers at China over Taiwan. All in one month. This man is out of control.
