From covering the breasts of Justice to sanctioned torture!

Trip was outstanding. Kids flew wonderfully. Eurostar 1st class carriage is not to be missed. Food service is real food, great food, with several courses and a hot towel at the end!

Farenheit 9/11 1/2 is in the works to help enlighten the 51% of America that perhaps didn't have the knowledge they needed. Although, it was telling the other day speaking with a man in his 60's at lunch who told me he really was undecided until the last minute but chose Bush because he was afraid of changing things in the middle. Don't ever doubt that fear works when trying to convince people of something. Scare the hell out of them and they'll be to afraid to make a reasoned choice.

And now, nutjob and moral crusader John Ashcroft who spent $8,650 of our money to hide the Spirit of Justice and the Majesty of Law statues in the Great Hall at the DOJ because the Spirit statue had one breast exposed, (oh, the humanity! they've only been there since the 1930's!) is being replaced by the White House counsel Alberto Gonzales who wrote a 2002 memo advising the President to deny Geneva convention rights to prisoners in the war on terrorism. After the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal earlier this year, DOJ lawyers responded to Mr. Gonzales that prohibitions against torture of detainees could be loosened without breaking US or international laws! Great replacement we have going here!

It's going to be a rough four years. Good luck everyone. And don't forget to get yourself involved. http://www.democracyforamerica.com

This group rose from the ashes of Howard Dean's campaign and is still actively holding monthly meetups across the country to field and support local candidates, to address important issues and to focus on how best to take back the country in the next two to four years.

From Howard Dean M.D.
"The President successfully turned a discussion about moral values into a discussion about gay marriage and abortion. I think moral values are also about how you treat poor people, how you treat those who are different, how you respect the opinion of others, and what you leave to your children. On those moral values, I think the Republicans lose. We need to talk about these values too."

I couldn't agree more and I know I'm not alone. Please keep the faith, hold your heads high and get out there and fight to get back what's been taken from all of America!

Be nice.

Peace
