Ok, So King George says we have to control our spending and get it under control now that the Democrats have the power. So what, I guess for the last 8 years the Republicans have been unable to contain themselves with running up the largest deficit in history, lining their own pockets and having sex with the pages. Who was leading them?

I'm embarrassed to say that I am a Republican, but will be changing my affiliation to an Independent. The Republican party no longer represents anything close to my views. Oh, how I long for the Reagan years!

The big news for Saturday 12/30 is that Saddam Hussein was hanged last night. See the video here.

Unfortunately, the violence in Iraq will not stop and our troops will continue to die. Average Iraqi's on the street say things are much worse now than they ever were. Woman once again can no longer go out in public without their burkas. The radical Islamists have moved in and our invasion if Iraq has just opened the door to a new Iran state. Great job George...

While Hussein was a very bad person and deserved to die for his crimes, there are others in the world who are much worse yet they remain in power.
