Fascinoma

It's freezing here in Washington, and about to piss freezing rain, followed by frigid rain. At least the elements are in sinking sync. Jay Rockefeller, Harry Reid and the unanimous phalanx of goosestepping Brownshirts are about to give the telecoms and the Bushites full immunity for illegally wiretapping Americans. And will our illustrious Democratic candidates note this, oppose it, show any leadership on it? Don't bet the rent. There just seems to be no bottom to it.

But perhaps we should mark this day anyway on our calendars; it might just be the day all hope was lost for democracy in America.
