You trust the N.Y. Slimes? You base your opinions on what appears in its pages?

Okay, then hope that President Bush, VP Cheney, Rove, and Scooter Libby are ALL indicted, as well as Secretary Rice and all the members of WHIG. Dennis Hastert will then be the president. Happy now?

In kind, someone has to be a defeatist, it most deservingly be you!

You're not alone StAnDeliver. The glass is always half full in my world.

"fair enough. someone has to be the optimist on these threads, it might as well be you."

I am. I admit it. I am a unforgiving, relentless optomist. I knew Bush was going to win re-election well before Lurch was the nominee. I knew we were going to win Bush v. Gore (there were even stronger arguments before the USSC that Scalia was not able to get to at the time).

I believe the DUmmies are pissing in the wind with this in the entirety -- not the least reason of which is that what goes around comes around and around; and Peter Paul is one bright, persistent, and gutsy FReeper (so Hillary, call your lawyer today).

I appreciate what you and the other eternal skepticist Torie add to the place, so I never want to gig you guys too harshly.
