I wish I could be as optimistic as you PD. Today, I am feeling overwhelmed with my corrupt local politics.
Optimism comes from the fact that the Liberals can yell and scream, but they keep losing. We are going to pick up seats in November in BOTH houses. Count on it. Democrats have no clue, and look like utter fools.
Think of it like this: Haliburton had record profits this year. The NY Times? Layoffs due to declining revenue. What else do you need to know?
