Mikhail: "And perhaps we all at least should be
thankful that had this been a country *other* than
America, all those pretty Palm Beach mansions would now be
cruise missile magnets, and we'd have an armored corps
making its way slowly through New England :-)"
I
think I recall someone on some radio show (I think it
was a guest on Kirk Mark and Lopez on 98
Rock-Baltimore) who pointed out during the Lewinsky impeachment
farce that if in 90% of the world, a crisis of this
magnitude would have involved tanks in the streets of DC
and fighting around the nation.
Instead we
just went to work.
Likewise, I just went to
work today and traded jibes and jeers with my
Democratic co-workers. My faith still lies in the overseas
ballots which have gone 60% GOP in the past few years --
and remember Bush made a concerted effort among the
military voters to get them to send in their absentees.
