bullies.....

ok, so i am heartened that reasonable republicans have risen up to block/delay confirmation of bolton as ambassador to the u.n. and are urging the resignation of tom delay...the new yorker article due out tomorrow said it best....that delay's gerrymandering of texas voting districts just got his party rolling toward more misdeeds....and that the bursting of his bubble was basically his to own deflate, not the democrats to dart through their evil doings..............all this...and a new pope too.....so much to consider on a global level for one miniscule commentator...for starts......the new pope is german...and i have to give him the benefit of the doubt for that distinction alone......i really wish i could speak german......i find this lacking a real loss to our culture.....the second and third generation americans who cannot speak their mother tongue because speaking it undermined assimilation......the hispanics will discover this loss soon....their children will not be able to understand grandma when she travels up from mexico.....tragic, really...that those who value a free society cannot accomodate bi-lingual or tri-lingual residents...but i digress from the bullies delay and bolton......how can the bush adminstration back men who are so clearly hostile to their cause.....so lacking in anything vaguely of value when it comes to personal constraint.......the best thing to do for bullies is to ignore them....and eventually their kind will go away......
