Yes, and the lament will go something like this...
"What were we thinking, to install an expensive new bureacracy that the Democrats were certain to exapand once they regained power? Why didn't anyone warn us?"
That last sentence is the ironic coda which is obligatory in all laments. You are free to ignore it, of course, since no one is warning you.
I have my doubts about that.
Alas, it is just an effort to convey the good Dubya' has bestowed. I remain optimistic that our collective concerns in our great country will keep us great for decades to come.
I enjoyed the thread ya'll but my "John Deere" rider awaits me! :)
