-- From Paul Begala's "Is Our Children Learning?"

"I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree with each other, but that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator," Bush joked.

-- CNN.com, December 18, 2000

"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it, " said.

5. There's an apocryphal saying attributed to Huey Long
It goes something like, "if America ever became fascist, it would be called Americanism" or "it would be called anti-fascism".

The nubers don't add up, in a big way.

America wanted Bush out. The world wants Bush out, too.

We need to commit ourselves, now, to stop this, by any means necessary.

Don't fool yourselves into thinking that you can just shrug your shoulders, give up, and go back to your ordinary lives, because there will be no ordinary lives from now on.
