Thanks for the ping!

The American electorate is "polarised" in the sense that a seesaw would be with Kate Moss at one end and me at the other.

Priceless as always.

You know it's really bad when even our allies across the pond notice the 'Liberal Cocoon' when the Liberals themselves refuse to see it. But then again, alot of that same 'cocooning' occurs in the British, French, German, and Al-Jezeer (sp?) press corps.

Nice riff on the dangers of believing your own propaganda...

As for Bush merely solidifying his base, Kentucky hasn't elected a Republican governor since 1967 and Missouri has elected only two in the past 125 years.

Obviously he means Mississippi. Bring me the editor, and flog him.

BUBBLE PEOPLE!

That's what our family has taken to calling liberals.

We live in Oregon, near Portland, but outside it.

Everyday my wife and I go into town. We are surrounded by liberals. They talk about what they heard on NPR. They have the famous Saddam poster on their walls, except with a likeness of GWB being pulled from the Capitol dome.

They dish it out to conservatives like me. But I dish it right back by telling them they are the ones in the dark.

They only have each other to talk to. They dismiss anything they hear from a conservative. They act as though they represent a significant majority. Problem is, for them atleast, they are far from even a majority. I remind them of this, but they aren't phased the least.

Best of all, they think Howard Dean is keen. And if he won't do there is always Hillary.

These are the same people that slept for 8 long years. Yet they now have some new-found for imagined corruption. They fail to recognize war for what it is.

They are BUBBLE PEOPLE. And every work day I get to be around them.

November 2002 - Democrats lose control of the US Senate; October 2003 - Democrats lose the California gubernatorial race; November 2003 - Democrats lose the Missouri and Kentucky gubernatorial races.

November 1999, Democrats lose control of Wisconsin Assembly; November 2001 Democrats lose control of WIsconsin Senate; 2002 Democrats lose Milwaukee County Executive race (first Republican in that chair in 60+ years.)

And on and on and on it goes.
