After a year of a Congress that actually keeps promises, implements long
overdue  reforms of itself, and is not caving in to the sociopath in the
White House and corrupt reactionaries like Bonior, Daschle, Gebhardt and
Panetta, I *am* in a pretty good mood.  The Democrats have forced nearly
all their honest members like Ben Campbell and Tim Penny out of the Party
or office, and all they have anymore is the policies and politicians of the
hard Left - which dooms them.  The results of the 15th District
Congressional race and the failure of the hate campaign against Gingrich
must be truly depressing for you. Heh, heh.

"Budget bills that repeal any environmental protection for forests..."? 
Chuckle - assinine absurdities are amusing sometimes.  But what you of the
Left really need is a genuine humorist - it's been a long, long time since
Mort Sahl.  Well, Pete Seeger has had his moments - his extra lyrics for
'Old Time Religion' are hilarious.

Actually, you may in fact have a genuine commitment to the environment. 
But supporting corrupt politicians and engaging in falsehoods about Brian
Bilbray isn't any way to ensure a clean environment.  Some of us have seen
what Big Brother Government in places like the former Czechoslovakia and
Russia did for the environment.  I'll take science and facts from
scientists here at Scripps any day over the pronouncements of the commisars
of the Environmental Politics Agency three thousand miles away from San
Diego any day.

Happy Holidays to you, also.  :-)
