So while we have been busy ranting, throwing our collective arms up in the air and running up and down the hallways screaming gibberish... well I hope that's what you're doing because I am doing that right now, just taking a break to type this, we are served up our next distraction, and I love the picture of the sign:

From, and I apologize to whomever here coined it first, "McNews":

Official: Thousands of troops will head to border

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush will call for the deployment of "less than 10,000" National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to serve a "supportive role" in the mission to keep people from entering the United States illegally, a senior administration official said Monday.

Also - back on topic, does anyone here believe that the US public, in general, is ready to replace our government, or will we just sit back, watch some more reality T.V. and pontificate on how we should change our government? We're good at b1tching about it, but are we ready to start making some changes? I have been watching Lou Dobbs on CNN and the "Situation Room" with Wolfie Blitzer and I think Lou Dobbs' head is going to pop soon - those two shows are getting close to being on par with "The Daily Show"... but the problem is that they are being serious, while Stewart is being satirical...well mostly at night, mostly.
