A new beginning, a moment of freedom, like angels are singing...

One week, that's all!! One week from right NOW the nightmare that's been the last eight years of George W. Bush in the White House will finally be over.


I don't know if Obama will do any better, but it would be flatly impossible for him to do any worse.

And one week from nearly right now, I'll hopefully be on my second glass of champagne on my way to finishing the bottle and watching Bushie slink out of town while Obama triumphantly strides (rides?) up Pennsylvania Avenue and into history.

New rule, politicians must stop saying "The American people are smarter than that." No they aren't! If the Bush era has taught us anything, it's that voters want a president carved in their own image. Someone who doesn't like to read or believe anything he's told and is easily distracted by bright, shiney objects. - Bill Maher
