CelticProgressive Enters the Terrible Twos

Today marks the second anniversary of this blog. A lot has happened in those two years.

New Orleans was hit by a hurricane that left it underwater and showed to the world how pitifully inadequate the Bush adminsitration was. Iraq descended even further into chaos.

But on the bright side, Scooter Libby has been convicted, Donald Rumsfeld has resigned, Tom DeLay has left the House in disgrace, and the Democrats took control of Congress for the first time in a dozen years.

There has been good news. But there's a lot more to do.

We need to elect a Democrat to the White House in 2008. We need to get this country out of the morass it currently occupies in Iraq and begin repairing the damage that's been done to our life and our liberties since this criminal administration took over in 2001.

While the economy looks very shaky to me, I think that we can begin to feel a little optimistic. Bush is a lame duck, and it's obvious to everyone that his adminstration has been a pathetic failure. From their delusions of grandeur, when they thought they could remake the Middle East, they now realize that the best they can do by way of a strategy for the war is to try not to lose until after Hillary gets inaugurated -- then blame the mess on her.

But the end of the Bush years is in sight. And they can't end soon enough for me.
