capnzebbieI'm glad Condi Rice is being required to testify before the investigative committee. I hope this is an indication that the Bush administration is no longer going to be allowed to do whatever it wants with no accountability to anyone. Their usual response to anyone questioning their actions is like Vinnie Barbarino (how's that for a blast from the past?) saying, "What? Where?"
Another news item that I hope marks a sea change in the public's attitude toward this administration is the Howard Stern campaign against Bush. I don't listen to Howard Stern, I don't watch him on TV, I've never read any of his books. I did enjoy his movie and I don't feel any hostility toward him; he just isn't my cup of tea. However, I do recognize the huge influence he has on popular culture, and I'm glad he's using that influence to help get Bush out of office. I do believe he got screwed by Clear Channel for expressing his political opinions, and Clear Channel deserves whatever repercussions come from those actions.
Also, on Salon.com today I read an article about conservatives and Republicans who are opposed to Bush. There is a new organization called "Republicans for Kerry" that can be found here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/republicansforkerry04/
I hope it grows massively in a short period of time. I'm not a Republican, so I don't have any problem being opposed to Bush and I don't really need that organization; however, I'm sure there are many people who will want to join. The Salon article was discussing people who are socially liberal but fiscally conservative, as opposed to the the current administration which is socially conservative and fiscally insane. I remember writing a paper on that very subject back when I was in grad school studying the sociology of religion. I really hope that group bites the Bush administration on the ass.
Please, please, anybody but Bush!
