^.^
So here I am, trying to find some good news to balance out all of the bad election results, as well as the almost celebratory mood on NPR and the Democrats this morning, and then they play Nancy Pelosi's remark:
"The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty to Washington DC, and the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open, most ethical Congress in history."
And with those words, what I am calling Pelosi's version of the "no new taxes" promise, she has just condemned the Democrat majority to two years, and possibly endangered the party's hopes for 2008.
The reason is the same reason that the "no new taxes" promise was not about to work. It's a global statement, and once it is disproven, it becomes an albatross to hang around the neck of your opponents, in this case, the Democrats.
So enjoy your majority while it lasts, Ms. Pelosi. You have two years to make sure that your party is as clean as the wind-driven snow, because the second it is not, you and your party are DONE.

A New Course for America
^.^
Well, with 1% of the votes reported, and with polls not even closed on the West Coast, Republican control of Congress is doomed...they're going to lose about 7000 seats in a body of 435, and Republicans will be swept out of power from positions all across the country. Even your local dog catcher might be swept out of power.
SO, given that Nancy Pelosi is about to become the new Speaker of the House, and in spirit with the Liberalista call for a change of course in Iraq, I have decided that BY GOD, they are right. We need a change of course in Iraq.
Of course, the Liberalistas have not told us what change of course they want, although we KNOW...but still, being specific on an issue counts, so with that in mind, let me propose my idea for a change of course in Iraq...
NEW US MILITARY STRATEGY IN IRAQ
First off, we shouldn't leave, like the Liberalistas want...not until th job is done, and the military has a lot of work to do if we want to get the country into shape.
The problem with our military in Iraq is that we are fighting too nice. Even worse, we are building schools and hospitals and the like...all these things that ingratiate ourselves to the civilians, when we should be building big bristling military bases and tightening our grip on the country.
When some idiot insurgents dare to attack our forces, our military men should simply open up and waste anyone and anything in sight. And not to stop there, within two minutes, squads of reinforcements should descend like locusts on the area, eliminating all potential for resistance. Anything that has a gun...dead. Anything that raises a hand, even to surrender...dead. Anything that breathes...dead.
The US military should become a thing to be feared, even from our Iraqi allies in the government. In fact, when our military comes on the scene for diplomatic or parade events, it should be followed by Star Wars' "Imperial March".
At the beginning of the Iraqi war, our attitude was that we should go in and turn the place into a parking lot, show no mercy to anyone, pacify the entire country, and THEN work to rebuild the country. According to most people, that has not happened, but if the Liberalistas want a strategy that does not include anything that can be seen as "cut and run" from the scene, my plan is a viable option, much in the same way that the Nuke the Moon article is a viable option for US policies in general.
