Headlines

On the CNN homepage right now, top three HeadLines:

* Blair suffers first major defeat in 8 years
* Big oil execs under fire in Congress
* Dems score big in off-year elections

Today, for the first time in a long time, I am hopeful for our nation
and our world.

It's a great day!!! :-)

It'd be a wonderful day....

* 'Intelligent design' school board booted

at least in Dover, PA.

"Voters came down hard Tuesday on school board members who backed a statement on intelligent design being read in biology class, ousting eight Republicans and replacing them with Democrats who want the concept stripped from the science curriculum."

All four election reform bills failed in Ohio. And the reason is stupidity. I didn't agree 100% with all the bills, but they sure would have made things a little better. (More good then harm in my opinion.)

There should be a requirement that everyone answerer a few basic questions before being allowed to vote. Basic questions like who is the current President, Vice President, or question relating to the issue they are voting on.

In discussing the election out come with two repug coworkers to day, I found out that neither one of them knew who Scooter Libby was, who Karl Rove was or who Kenneth Blackwell was.

So if they didn't know who Kenneth Blackwell was then they did not fully understand the voter reform issues that they were voting on, or they did not fully understand why the issues were being voted on.

SCRREEEEEEAMMM!!!!
