It would take changing the minds of 70% of the population from believing that Sadam caused 9/11. How about more than 40% knowing who their representatives and senators are. In other words it would take Americans, who are mostly willfully ignorant idiots, and making them into informed thinking people. If you know a stronger definition of impossible, let me know.

But then, I'm an East Coast, N.Y. Times reading, book reading, sushi eating wuss and as such, I just don't count either. (unless the polls are wrong, she asked hopefully?) Well, but it's a long long way from March to the election and the days grow weirder as we reach November. He is on beyond Teflon and I just don’t get it.

How could this guy be even vaguely in charge of counter-terrorism and NOT be in the inner circle? I seems that the Bush administration is only illuminating their ineptitude. Either he was qualified for the job (and hence was in the inner circle) or they stupidly hired and kept an unqualified man. So which way were they stupid? Both before neither.

W. is a figurehead with no head for figures. Y'know...all that conspiracy talk about the Illuminati and the Trilateral Commission, and whatnot, about some secretive band of old, evil white dudes who really run the world, is starting to actually sound plaus...hold on, someone's at my door...
