Rumsfeld's resigning? There's a special report on the TV right now. Am I actually hearing this?

Yes, yes, they're throwing him to the wolves, a sacrifice to pay for the humiliation of yesterday. But oh. YES.

Bye, you rat. Enjoy watching the faces of the dead as you try to sleep at night.

I can't say I'm actually dancing -- still too crippled by too many dashed hopes -- but I think I did gyrate ever so slightly.

I can name three more deserving wolf-snacks right off the top of my head. Ah, wouldn't that be nice...

In what I saw of Bush's speech, he looked like a kid who'd been ordered to shake hands and make up. But at least he talked about bipartisanship.

I can't believe this, but I heard Bush went to bed early, as is his usual custom. I also heard that Cheney had to wake him and tell him that the Dems won the House. I wonder if Cheney and Rove drew straws with Rove and lost, or if Rove was hiding under a desk somewhere.

I saw the speech too (and also enjoyed several replays, heh) and he was actually scuffing his feet at one point. The body language was amazing.

Well, all I can say is, thank God. My faith in my countrymen has come back a bit. That at least some of the people were able to think, access, and use their anger/mighty swing votes has done gobs to allay my pessimism.

have you heard of Richard Kearney?

This is totally OT, but I've just been listening to podcast interviews with him and he's fascinating. He wrote a book called "The God Who May Be" and I'm finding it intuitively satisfying. Here's a review: http://ndpr.nd.edu/review.cfm?id=1241

He was raised very Catholic, and he kinda is Catholic still, but he argues that God exists more as a possibility than as an is/is not. Exists to the extent that we are willing to act to allow God into this plane, kinda. I find this heartening for lots of reasons, not least because it's not what right wing evangelists preach. (Though I have some hope even for them when they were voting against Bush in large numbers Tuesday - one of them said "look, we're not cheap dates, and we're being manipulated", which showed signs of honest use-of-rational-mind-and-conscience, which I found very hopeful.)

The podcasts are here: http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/podcast.html

Have you read anything by him?
