One of my passions is explaining things to people in ways that ordinary people can understand. I hate few things more than people saying "It's very simple, we simply verbeetzle the umpeffeltzter wnd wackdoodle the malporkerizer" because they've forgotten that ordinary people don't speak that language.

This therefore made me very happy. Especially as it uses the Duke of Hazzard as an explanatory tool.

*nods* Note that I said "Bush supporter," by which I meant those who agree with his current actions, not "those who formerly supported Bush or voted for him before his exposure." You seem to be a relatively intelligent person who recognizes our current president as the danger to our country that he is.

Yup. The Democrats are no better, and frankly, all but a couple of the incumbents in both houses need to go, because they actually PASSED the Patriot Act. And right now even the hopelessly naive Libertarian Party is looking like a good alternative. I will not be voting for any canditidate in this next election who does not speak out against the Patriot Act, nor anyone who voted to pass it. Which means of course that, yes--I'll be most likely voting Green.

But like I said--The ones supporting him currently are generally low-brow enough that it will be really hard to dumb down to their level just what is wrong in Washington right now.

Well, one way where I differ from most people that dislike Bush's current actions is that I still think Gore would've done worse. Hmm... I'm registered as a Libertarian, but the problem with my party is that while it might be one thing to advocated the freedom of smoking crack, it's quite another to run for office while appearing to do so. >_>;;

LOL! Intelligence and humor make a great team. Hard to say who'd be worse, really, but Gore's saving grace would have, IMHO, been that he'd not have been able to sell his bullshit as well.

Me--I'd have voted for Zappa if he'd lived and run as he was considering. Hey! Why doesn't Dennis Miller run for office?

And believe it or not, I seriously thought this discussion would be more along the lines of "how to explain the Bush administration through *insert movie or series name here*, so my apologies to Andy for going so far astray.
:-D

Of course, I have the attention span of a 6-year-old on libertarian crack.
