A thought: As recently as last night, I heard conpiracy theorists on the radio suggesting that at the last moment, GW would declare martial law and refuse to leave the White House under some pretense of national emergency.
As crazy as it sounds, I would have loved to see him try. Constitutionally, no matter what he tried, the office would have automatically transferred over at noon, EST, and Obama would have been able to order the martial to focibly evict him! Wouldn't you love a picture of Bush being hauled out of the White House in handcuffs? We can only dream!

Categorically Rico! I've had some intense little nightmares with hot swarming Black-Hawks and well equipped robo-solders doing things needing ARCO Hi-Test! But realy... what did I hear today with the inaugural of Obama that I immediately took the wrong way naturally is "That the torch passes to the next generation." It was a sinking feeling. And then I sort of woke from the metawaulk and watched history being made again, again. ><Tomasina Chicawolverina!

Obama made some clear attacks on Bush during his speech, with Bush sitting directly behind him, whih I thought was cool! Actually, there was even a light job at Bill Clinton.
Anyway, I'm hopeful. This may work out, but people are going to have to be patient. We are all used to instant gratification, but we won't get it. Give this guy a year to even BEGIN to turn things around.
In the meantime, I have my computer back, but I'm having to use an external keyboard while they try to find the right one for my laptop.

Hope so Ricko, I want the whole thing on DVD, I actually had to miss the main part because of work. I'll catch up with the network news tonight.

No the earth has not moved. I just cant beleive some of the over the top remarks here. I think Obama at this time is more like the wizard of Oz. He knows what is broke but can it be repaired? Lets see were he is this time next year. I wish him well, my retirement pension depends on it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us-TVg40ExM&feature=email

Arbeit macht frei. Jobs for everybody. Now our tax dollars and your retirement is going to pay for the slave labor to rebuild a country that will be designed to keep us all in our place. I didn't see any carbon tax worries today in the capital. They continue to eat and fart, but we will be taxed for doing the same. Keep dreaming guys. Obama does not have a year. Watch how fast the shit flies now.

See, this is my big gripe with Libertarians. Because I do support the income tax. It's the only tax that's based on ability to pay. I only want the Fed abolished.
However, I want to return to taxing the top tax brackets at 90% or better, but then giving them allowances for investments ONLY in US jobs and innovations. No tax breaks for outsourcing or any foreign-incurred expense.

Nice dream Rick. But power is never surrendered voluntarily. Are we in denial that the D.C. crowd are being handled now by monied interests? I saw Bush hugging Clinton with genuine affection. This is pretty much all academic. I don't watch media news, so I am not confused trying to connect the dots. I can't wait for the analog tv to end. Then I won't even be tempted to subject myself to sheep dip.

I haven't watched analogue TV in years. It hurts my eyes.

Well I really don't see any fix coming soon. I predict double digit inflation. It has to be with that type of money been thrown at the economy.
