Thought for the day, from a gloomy party member on the Democratic Underground Web site: ''Reality sucks. That's the problem. We want another reality.''

Well, they're doing a grand job of creating their alternative universe. At midday Thursday, as George W. Bush was about to be confirmed formally as the winner of the presidential election, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, described by Agence France-Presse as the ''Democratic former presidential hopeful,'' led 400 other Democrats in a protest outside Congress. Presidential-wise, they may be former but they're still hopeful. So they were wearing orange, the color of the election protesters in Ukraine, who overturned their own stolen election with an ''orange revolution.''

I'm so glad that Mark Steyn is back, I really missed him during his hiatus.

I've never started a new post before, hope I've done this right!

This reminds me of a saying from the old hippie days, possible from the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers – “Reality is for people who can’t handle drugs”.
These people seem to be able to handle drugs better than reality.
