I find it hard to be vitriolic, perhaps because I spent too much time as a newsman -- in the good old days, that is, before Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter -- when calm reasoning and fair and balanced news coverage was the holy Grail.
I wish I could be vitriolic, because the Bush administration has driven the country closer to fascism and totalitarianism than any time in my life. And that includes the Cold War, with all its insanities, and the McCarthy era.
But it's not in my nature, so let me quote you a bit from a splendid bit of invective from Dorothy Reik, President of the Progressive Democrats/Santa Monica Mountains. It's in the form of an open letter to Pelosi:
"Speaker Pelosi, I am sick and tired of constantly being in a state of barely controlled rage over the ludicrous proposals you and John Murtha keep putting forward. The only way to stop this war is to stop funding it....Stop being an idiot. Do what we elected you to do. Get us out of this stupid war..."
But Ms Reik doesn't address the only thing that is really going to change things -- the impeachment of Bush and Cheney.
