Recess
Summer Recess has begun. Amidst much acrimony and Republican obstructionism. In danger of being lost in all the brouhaha is how much this Congress has acheived in it's short life thus far. Much more than its predessor -- of course that it hard. One might easily overlook that those acheivements came in the face of an Administration unable to grasp that a vote took place in November -- and they lost-- and that it's Iraq policy is two IED's short of a debacle. The next session should be no less acrimonious, with spending bills and the shadow of impeachable Alberto Gonzalez blocking any sunlight on the Justice front. September should bring real acheivement in the face of a diminishing Administration and continued poor numbers for the GOP across the board. And a legacy for GW Bush-- the war losin' and veto weildin' President.
