The prosaic period in American politics is (slowly) ending as the web reduced the power of democratic dinosaurs (er, politicians) in Washington.

Unfortunately, that leaves some professional repubican dinosoars around: such as Chaffee, McCain, and a few others.

Morning! What a lovely word-

Today's predictable, prosaic whine
From the moonbats on the left
Is the same recycled nonsense-
Conspiracy theories and election "theft"

And women are "on the brink", says NOW
Of loosing their "right to choose"
And Ohio's votes weren't counted right-
They just keep repeating the same old news

They need to step away from the bong
And lay off the koolaid sooner or later-
Because Bush really won, "choice" is murder
And John sKerry is still a traitor

My prescription plan only pays for the generic version of prosaic.
