Headache
I have a headache.
With the news out that the White House is trying to figure out how they can
cancel the elections and let the terrorists win -- well, day-by-day campaign and poll wackiness just sort of pales in comparison.
I mean, can we call it creeping fascism yet?
Mucking up the foundation of the democratic process on a national scale (not just locally by keeping a few black people from voting [sarcasm]).
Really. Is there anything else to say?

I liked what rc3.org had to say:
...one wonders how Bush can campaign on the idea that he's made America safer when we're talking about postponing the most important political event in America -- nationwide elections -- due to terrorism? There was no talk of this in 2002 before we removed the terrorist menace from Iraq, was there?
I liked what Jay Leno had to say:
"I love that the Department of Homeland Security always tells Americans if you don't fly commercial airlines, 'the terrorists have won.' If you don't hold the Super Bowl or the World Series, 'the terrorists have won.' If you don't get out to the mall and do your Christmas shopping, 'the terrorists have won.' Comes time for the election, 'Oh, let the terrorists have that one."'
Color me naieve, but I don't think they could get away with postponing the elections.
It would have to be approved by Congress and since we never suspended elections during WW2, there's no way Congress would approve of it.
"Is there anything else to say?"
How about, "Oui, je suis emigrée. Je suis née en Philadelphie, mais maintenant j'habite a Montreal. J'aime bien le Canada."
