Things I Wonder...

When did "liberal" start to mean "evil communist?" Was it around the time that Fox News Channel began?

Why is it okay for Republicans to want less government in peoples’ lives, unless it comes to personal issues like abortion or gay rights? Then they want more.

In light of the CBS fiasco, will anyone ever again try to figure out what really did happen to Bush in the Air National Guard?

Why was it really, really bad that Clinton didn’t inhale pot, but not a big deal that Bush didn’t snort cocaine?

Who helped Cheney devise the administration’s energy policy? What companies were they from, and why does he still refuse to say who they were?

Will the upcoming Enron trials highlight the Bush family’s relationships with Enron executives?

Why do people still believe Bush when he says he is a “fiscal conservative” when he has lowered taxes to decrease government revenue while blowing our deficits higher than ever?

What did Bush know when he owned the Texas Rangers, and his players were allegedly juicing up? Maybe he was willfully ignorant?

Will John Kerry have the nerve to run in 2008?

Will John Edwards, considering he turned invisible after he became Kerry’s running mate?

Will Al Gore? A Southern Democrat like him might have a second chance. There are many second chances in politics. Richard Nixon, in fact, had two second chances.

As the likely head of the Democratic Party, will Howard Dean focus the party and help set a cohesive agenda, or will he radicalize and therefore marginalize it?

How long before Bush has a Supreme Court nominee that will rile Democrats, which in turn will make Republicans label all Democrats “out-of-touch obstructionists.”

How is it that men who went out of their way to avoid Vietnam were so gung-ho about invading Iraq? How is it that it doesn't seem to matter?

Will the Democrats lose more ground in 2006? Notice that Bush is pushing his Social Security plan on tour in Red States that have Democrats up for reelection in 2006.

Why did Bush have such extravagant inauguration balls when soldiers that he sent to Iraq do not have enough body armor?

Why is it unpatriotic to criticize Bush's government? Is it because the man never, ever makes a mistake?

Saxy Chambliss won a Senate seat in Georgia after smearing his opponent as “unpatriotic.” His opponent, Democrat Max Cleland, lost three limbs while fighting in Vietnam. What I wonder is, how does Mr. Chambliss sleep at night?
