I used to think that Nixon was bad and Reagan was bad and George Senior was bad but I can point to at least 20 things each did that were good. This monstrous administration is in a whole other place. That's depressing and I find it quite ironic that the piece of legislation which caused me to take up the battle down South of Babylon, the UIGEA embedded in the Port Appropriations Bill of 2006 no longer has a raison d'etre as Bush has submitted a budget with $0 for Port Appropriations for fiscal 2008 and it's unlikely that the Democratic congress will add on stuff like that, though stranger things have happened.
So let's continue with yesterday's little dance and have some more fun. There's a word game we gamblers play to kill time. It's like the philosophical word game called "Essences" but is more specific. To wit, you have to match up professional athletes in a sport with newsmakers. For some reason, I remember doing the MLB for the dramatis personae of the Impeachment. Rogan was John Smoltz. Cheryl Mills was J.D. Drew. Here, taking a small shove from Fredrick Schwartz http://thedisbrimstone-dailypitchfork.blogspot.com/ I present Decision '08 as drawn from the PGA

I keep saying that I'm going to take up golf when I get too old to do the other stuff I do, so I don't know the players.
That would have made Gingrich DL3, Gore Aaron Baddeley and Jeb Bush Johnny Miller.
Funny. I thought of Jeb as DL3 and Gingrich as Paul Azinger. Gore, for me, is David Toms. Bill Clinton is David Duval.
the begey III reference is just cruel...plain cruel.
Dave, that would be me turning red with shame as in I'm NOT. Though my SKIN is maybe a just a hint lighter than Obama and Cory Booker's, I'm a White Jew though and through. So, you'll excuse me if I have a problem with the argot. Is having your cock and balls tied to Oprah Winfrey's apron a version of "keeping it real?" I don't really know. James Baldwin could have untangled that maybe, but I don't think anyone else is up to the task.
