Ah ha, I had forgotten about that book, and I own a copy, from a used book sale. I read it. But, no, I am not that Bill Slider, nor have the author and I ever met. I assume he is a totally fictional character, at least on that side of the Atlantic.

You know, I almost never watch the embedded videos, but I always watch the Elizabeth Warren videos. She's the best.

Still waiting for an Eisenhower Republican to come on the scene.

Senator Paul Wellstone is still missed. The most vocal opposer of the invasion of Iraq and the forming of the DHS...funny how he died in a small plane crash just before they were about to vote on those, when his vote would have tipped the scales away from those bad decisions. :(

Betsy's got more balls than all the men in the House and Senate combined.

Louie's famous Word Salad Dressing is no doubt going to be topping the Republican response salad.

Errr. This is probably somewhat benign, but not really, if you lived through it. Reagan's officials, probably with his quiet approval, sold weapons to Iran, not Iraq. There was a weapons embargo against Iran, because (among other things) they'd just taken a bunch of Americans hostage (see "The Ayatollah is a Assa-Hollah" tee-shirts). Iraq, on the other hand, was our dear friend and ally, especially dear progressive leader Saddam Hussein, the hope of democracy in the middle east.

I don't think you'd like it as much as you'd like to like it. Still worshiped in Guatemala and Iran. You can tell by the banana trees.

They also sold weapons of mass destruction to Iraq to use against Iran. We knew Saddam had WMDs because we had the receipts! They were right in von Rumsfail's briefcase!
