South of the border that is (and for those of you who can't get their
heads around the concept without help, that would be south if the
Canada/US border).
I realize it's early going, but where CNN is calling races, its mostly
Republican incumbents who are going down.
I guess Karl Rove wasn't quite the genius Larry painted him to be...

Alan,
Believe it or not, the majority of Americans I know are embarrassed and
disgusted by the goons who run this store. Above all, W has divided us
against one another, like no other prez in my lifetime. Frankly, it seems
we're helpless to see past our futile, two party system, so we'll continue
to vote for the same parties that have screwed us repeatedly. But, give us
credit. At least we saw fit to slap a leash on the loose cannon for his
remaining two years... uh, unless he gets impeached.
BTW, I don't like Democrats either, but I like that we went from worse to
bad.
;-{
PS Be nice, lest we'll build a fence on the northern border too.

Hey, I believe you. I applaud the American public for essentially
repudiating what the current administration and legislature have been
doing.I was just getting tired of reading one particular American's
partisan rants here and decided to tweak his nose a little. <g >
Frankly, from my perspective there hardly seems any difference between
the Reps and the Dems, anyway. From all the gnashing of teeth and
wailing one hears, you'd think that the Republicans were Nazis
(according to the Democrats) and the Democrats commies (according to the
Republicans), when the truth of the matter is that when it actually gets
down to cases they make almost the exact same decisions once they're
actually in power.
Nor, BTW, does it seem like there's all that much difference between the
Liberals and Conservatives here in Canada, either; the NDP are another
matter, but less and less people take them at all seriously.
On more important matters, I went out and hit a few this afternoon, and
apparently, I haven't forgotten everything yet. My chipping was actually
really good.
And I'm not going to worry too much about the fence. ;-)
