I do not deny that we are putting ourselves on the road to hosedom.

But what if I don't want to keep going? See... my plan is to die just about the time I run out of money. Neil gave me that idea, and it sounds perfect.

That doesn't sound like a very optimistic view of the direction the next administration will take this country!

I can't say that I actually believe that BHO will be allowed to be president. Regardless of the actual vote count. I have hope that we have crossed that evolutionary boundary, but I can't say that I have confidence.
