Is finally gone.

This grinning bag of shit represented everything that is wrong with American federal politics. Delay, Gingrich, Pelosi, Kennedy and the rest of their partisan minions have done a great job over the years of completely reducing the level of discourse in the Congress to little more than school-yard name calling.

Known as the "Hammer" for his hardball tactics in fund-raising and politics, DeLay made no reference to his nickname but instead proudly described himself as a "spear-thrower" who had fought against just about everybody in the chamber at one time or another.

Wow, way to encourage an atmosphere of cooperation and progress in order to solve real problems, tough guy.

I have to wonder if people in this country will ever wake up en masse and see these people for what they really are; divisive, dangerous demagogues whose only real interests are increasing the power of their own party and themselves.

One down, hundreds more to go.

I'm fed up with politcis in general. Let's all move to the moon and start over. You think the U.S. would come after us moon people? I'll use my ray gun if they step foot onto my plot of cheese.

Yes, definitely.

First our adminstration officials and right-wing punditry would appear on talk radio & cable news shows to convince the people it was necessary to attack the evil moon people because of the obvious and imminent threat they posed to our national security, since they had the capability to hurl pieces of cheese at us from above, killing millions of innocent Americans. Then the adminstration would go before the U.N. pleading its case for action, garnering votes for an anti-moon people resolution and building a coalition of military partners. Then we would pursue a full scale space navy buildup until we could bombard & destroy all the communications, transportation & cheese harvesting infrastructure from orbit, and invade by dropping space marines. They would then land on the surface and leave a swath of broken & depressurized moon city domes behind them from their superior weaponry as they easily advanced through the rag-tag moonite milita defenders. Then once the moon was firmly gripped in our iron fist of freedom, having secured its rich cheese resources for our future generations here at home and liberated the surviving moonites from their oppressive sovereign government, we would declare victory over the vanquished moon-based terrorists and the whole land would rejoice!

Wackos on earth would insist that the 'war' was just faked in hollywood.

More realistically, instead of the whole land rejoicing, we'd just get tired of all the money and lives we're wasting to occupy the moon, then realize that with the proper cheese alternatives, we can actually get by with just the cheese already available in Wisconsin. But instead of leaving the moon, we'll loiter there until we can find a scapegoat to blame the failure on instead of admitting that our original plan of "lunar liberation" was actually short-sighted and motivated by money and revenge instead of some grand idealism about bringing freedom to the solar system.

Sorry, I should know better than to idealize like that.
