Place your bets, Folks

Well, we have the FISA bill, we have the SCHIPS bill still wallowing, and of course Bush's all important money for his illegal war. We have the republicans spouting their usual trash about terror lurking in every corner, and supporting our troops by allowing them to get killed longer, and who cares about kids, we need to money to support our troops by letting them die some more (sort of a circular kinda thing. Also we have their outrage that anyone would dare sue the Telcoms just for doing Bush's dirty deeds. How dare we sue them, and anyway God knows we don't want them to spill the beans on the dank secrets about how badly the constitution and our rights to privacy are being screwed.

We have the Democrats "standing strong" about everything, and looking almost like representatives.

Now the bets are, what date will they cave on everything. I bet before the end of the year chimpy and Darth have the whole shebang, the phone companies will celebrate their new found immunity by raising our rates, kids will continue without insurance, and of course our troops will keep on dying so that Big Oil can keep its greasy hand in Iraq.

Heres a bet I fervently hope I lose...

Remember, Congress, no you cant beat a veto, but you can damn sure do a Pelosi and take things off the table that Bush wants.

Oh, that's right, Pelosi only tables impeachment....
