Good and Bad

First I wanna do something I rarely do and that is give Bush credit cause it's due. He has protected appprox 195200 square miles of the Pacific Ocean along with two other areas which he has previously done. Congrats for once you did the right thing.

Now for the bad and that's the Democratic Senate. They rejected Blogevich's appointment to the Senate yesterday and I'm confused why.

A) He is qualified to be Senator according to the U.S. Constitution

B) Blogevich IS the current Governor of Illinois and IS doing his job as much as a scumbag he is

C) It really makes Democrats look horrible by doing this. If they want to hold on to the majority and maybe pick up a seat or two in the future they are doing themselves no favors.

I'm wondering why Reed didn't battle Republicans on Iraq,torture,the bank bailout and so many others with as much intensity? It said too much about his character and it really disappoints me that he is not a leader and needs to step away.

And one more good thing. I want to say congrats to Al Franken for legally winning the Senate in Minnesota. He earned a victory with all votes counted. Of course that is not what Norman Coleman wants to hear cause he is going to of course sue to stop Franken from being certified.
