I for one, Welcome our new Overlords

I'm reading and hearing a cacaphony of different directions the government is going to take, now that the democrats are "in power".
One of the most reasoned came from, of all people, Barbara Boxer, who pointed out that the democrats do not have the votes to overcome president Bush's VETO.
This got me thinking about what will change in our policy towards Iraq. If you think about it, the democrats have all the power of a paper tiger.

President Bush is still in control of the armed forces. He still decides how many troops stay in Iraq, and for how long. But "Congress has control of the pursestrings", you say. "They could de-fund any activity until Bush does what they say". Yeah right. Imagine how that will look.

There, on your TV, will be a soldier complaining about how he doesn't have the armor, or the humvee, that he needs because those bastard democrats voted "NO" on appropriations Bill X.

"Senator Liar said we'd have the equipment to do our job, but then he yanked the rug out from under us".

Good luck with that one, democrats. That'll REALLY score you points, come 2008.

The word on the hill is that they won't pursue impeachment, because everybody knows that they don't have the votes to make it stick, and they will end up looking like schmucks for wasting time and money.

A lot of it will depend on Bush's balls.

They will try for that huge jump in the minimum wage. Will Bush VETO it?

The Amnesty for Illegals will sail through. There's nothing stopping it. Ola, mi amigos!
