Zandar's Thought Of the Day

Democrats got what they wanted, Obama and healthy margins in both the House and Senate.

Now they have 728 days to:

1. Get out of Iraq and Afghanistan,
2. Deal with Pakistan and Iran,
3. Catch Osama bin Laden,
4. End the War on Terror and the Bush Doctrine,
5. Restore rule of law and civil liberties,
6. Restore the Constitution,
7. Lower the unemployment rate to 5%,
8. Get the Dow back to 14,000+,
9. Help 47 million uninsured Americans get affordable health care,
10. Solve global warming,
11. Fix the energy crisis,
12. Broker a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine,
13. Make Social Security and Medicare solvent,
14. Create a society that doesn't need to ever resort to abortion,
15. End all racism, sexism, and gender/sexuality discrimination,
16. ...And win both the gold medal count and the overall medal count in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Otherwise the GOP will most likely pull another Contract With America and the folks running in 2010 will not be the cuddly Chris Shays/Gordon Smith/Olympia Snowe types either. We'll be up to our necks in Palinists and wingnuts running on the "Impeach Dear Leader" platform.

You thought the commercials and smear ads and Village Idiots were bad in 2008? You have no idea.

Now the real fun begins.
