Not surprising. I saw it coming a year ago. I disfavor
the Republicrats all around, but at least the Democrats
tax-and-spend, instead of Republican borrow-and-spend
(or "spend and borrow") tactics. At least with the former

supporting the regime.
I'm with Tom on this one. Bush's head is firmly up the
keester of special interests, particularly defence and
energy consortia. I had believed, while in Europe, that
the bad press was just EU-wide US-phobia, but once I got
back here I find myself actually admiring the restraint
of the European press. At least, in the words of a Guardian
columnist, Reagan had a redeeming sense of realpolitik.
