Boys, girls, I confess: this space is generally reserved for cynical, possibly aimless, observations. No apologies -- after all, you're still reading.

But thanks to a CAFTA-related missive from Harvard supertrooper David "Davepee Bigabelly" Edeli, I have a message for you all.

The 2006 midterm congressional elections CAN, SHOULD, and WILL be the first resounding blow to the bullshit fascist* regime currently running things. (Yes, it's a terrible idea for Democrats to build their platform on anger and negativity -- I can, though. *I'm not kidding about the "fascist" part. Look up the definition and draw your own conclusions.)

Local rep Nancy Pelosi, Edeli points out, spearheaded an effort that nearly defeated the elitist policy, and was certainly successful in that it further emboldened Bush opponents in Washington, from both sides of the isle. If you remember where we were in the winter of 2001-2002, that's a great accomplishment.

Now Bush had to backdoor in Bolton, has apparently given up on his Social Security scam, is in danger of losing his "architect," and is generally looking more and more desperate against double waves of political opposition and what can only be termed common sense.

Since any reader of this blog is more than likely intellegent and open-minded, it's hardly likely that your personal viewpoint here opposes my own. Please, take a moment to consider giving [more] money to Pelosi, MoveOnPAC, StopTheNRA, Amnesty International, the ACLU, or Dean's Donkeys, or to consider how you may donate your time or increase your efforts to bring about a bold change in America, and our global shadow, over the next year.

The time is at hand. The fortress is falling.
