Exit the “Moderate”
As I am sure everyone in the blogosphere already knows, Powell is out (as are some other “moderates” in the cabinet). I remember back in 2000, after Bush stole that election, that it comforted me a bit to know Colin Powell would at least be in at State to moderate things. Of course even he couldn’t quell the ambitions of the neo-cons and eventually he started talking and acting like one himself. Now he is gone. And so is his reputation. I wonder who will replace him. My early bet is on Condi Rice, one of the biggest liars and failures of the last four years. I’m sure that she will be sworn in easily, however, because anyone who dare assail her horrible record will be accused of either racism or sexism or probably both. Of course I can’t think of anyone else who wouldn’t be worse and even more frightening (Wolfowitz?).
On top of this, I have been reading this morning about the horrors in Fallujah (here and here and here). It’s just awful and it’s a crime. Of course you won’t hear much about what’s really happening there on your local or cable news.
God, I hope we all make it through these next four years.
:mrgreen:like your blog! keep it up! will add you to my little list. I’m in GA, so I can relate!

I know it has been some time since you posted this Rob…but I just had to add a comment. I had to read Condi’s biography for one of my classes in grad school and from that I just gathered that she is an arrogant egotistical fake. In any case, I don’t feel as if she has the ability to take on this position…but I guess we will see what happenes. By the way , Happy Thanksgiving!:shock::razz:
