What a day!!

[[AK]Hylander]

The Fed cuts rates by .50%

A Republican controlled congress

Only an [AK] win tonight could top the day off right!

Forgive me as I whipe a tear from my eye.....

Indeed, what a great day to be an American (particularly a conservative). While we enjoy this great victory for the GOP, please remember our friend, Tom Daschle, who has lost his majority leader status, and say a prayer for him, for his hopes and dreams of pioneering a socialist America have collapsed. With his failure to lead the Democrats to victory, the likelihood of his being elected president have significantly diminished. Dick Gephardt and Terry McAuliffe also deserve our sympathy; it appears that sore loser McAuliffe may be out on the street and dejected Gephardt may not even take the minority leader post as angry, disenfranchised Democrat mobs demand new leadership.

To the credit of the Dems, they are getting good at delivering concession speeches. Furthermore, several of the speeches have been very gracious, including Jean Carnahan's and Fritz Mondale's (surprisingly enough). The dinosaur may be an old-school liberal, but he has more class than most of the New Democrats©.

To quote foxnews.com, it's Grand Old Party time!

I'm unsure, are you two republicans or democrats?

[War PEZ]

They are obviously Republicans..... they wouldn't be toasting themselves if they weren't. You don't have to ask me what I am because I'm from San Francisco... thank god that no Republicans won anywhere near here

Here we go again.

Can we punish him for even making that inquisition to me?

Palooka and Hy
I didn't realize you guys were bleeding heart liberal democrats. You seem smart enough to at least vote democrat, but I really didn't make the correlation. I'm glad to see you are seeing the silver lining in a Republican controlled Congress.

Once we lose 5 thousand young kids on the streets of Baghdad and other assorted Iraqi cities, the backlash will come back to sting the Republicans. So let them enjoy the glory while they can

[Widowmaker]

I am feeling the urge to post bad lawyer jokes here.

[[AK]Bribo]

Better 5,000 than millions when one of our cities is nuked.

[[AK]Hylander]

Give 'em hell Bribo!!

[Pudsterman]

I really, really, really doubt that Saddam is going to be behind the nuking of one of our cities. The CIA has already determined that he is NOT crazy and he is NOT stupid. The last thing that he wants to do is give us a reason to nuke him right into the history books. As for Al Qaeda, they aren't his friends any more than they are our friends. Saddam fears religious fundamentalism in Iraq and has done absolutely everything necessary to squash it. Saddam rules through fear - not through God (or Allah).

We are just really walking into dangerous territory when we start invading nations because they are armed with the same weapons that we have. Who's next? North Korea? I am by no means a pacifist, but I can sense that we are about to take a very dangerous turn in American history.

Please stand back while I step off the soapbox - I don't want to fall and hurt myself

Even more impressive is that Wynona Ryder was found guilty of shoplifting! GASP! What a shocker! I know I have been on the EDGE OF MY FREEKING SEAT to know what would come out of that case! Now that is important news.

How could they find her guilty with such slim evidence as video cameras showing her with the merchandice. Who could believe a celeberety could commit a crime? I know I am shocked, I think this case is even bigger than the OJ deal.

I think we should all start a protest march to argue the verdict. I mean if we can convict Wynona then who is next?

/sarcasm off

[Verrine]

Typical republican answer blame Wynona Ryder, an innocent actress. She was merely practicing her role as an actress. We need to sympathize her position not persecute her for it.

I broke the Winona news on my site "megaseconds" after CNN announced it, so there.
