Our Long National Nightmare: Over? Or Just Beginning?

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Whether it's a GE™ locomotive barreling down on us, unable to stop even if the engineer sees us, or the light is the other end of the tunnel, & we're finally coming out of darkness & metaphors, Election Day 2008 is now just a year, a week, & a few days away. The nightmare is far from over (look at the choices) but as they say, a year passes like nothing. One of those choices is Sen. Clinton, who hits the Big Six-Zero today. Here's a shot of her from 40 yrs. ago:And the other Mainstream Inevitable Candidate is R. Giuliani (item immediately below). Ulp! Well, anything can happen in the yr. left. Except we don't have a yr. The nominations may be (inevitably) locked up by the end of Jan. (Iowa caucuses currently scheduled for 5 Jan. 2008.) We may have a "choice" between a crazed fascist & a cold, calculating fascist.

It's our personal speculation that Rudy's handlers (The Mafia? Pedophile priests?) set him up w/ a nurse as his most recent wife so she could keep him well-medicated, but there's always the chance that he'll go off the tranqs & we'll see his real nature. There's also the chance that American voters will like the real Rudy even more than the media image. ("Triple Guantanamo!!" "Where's Podhoretz? I want him to push the Big Red Death-to-Iran Button, he deserves the honor!!" "I'm all over this ferret like Michael Vick on a pit bull!!")
