It's worse than it looks for the Democrats. That's why they're in the full blame President Bush panic mode. They came to the shocking realization that even to the unwashed masses, the mindset will be "so what about Bush. We didn't vote for him, but we did vote for you. Didn't see him around but didn't see you either. And you're our local leaders. Where were you?"

Remove fresh head from pike. Bake in 350* oven in a large pan of sauerkraut for three hours. Serve with a nice merlot.

Thanks! This is a relief. I've been trying to get info, but Freepers are amazing when it comes to mining the web. I suspect they're hunkered down somewhere with no access to phones or email.

Pilots can either fly attack choppers or transport choppers, not both at the same time. Now that the rescues are apparently tapering off or temporarily suspended, in comes the gunships.

Serve with a nice merlot.

Piked Head & Kraut should only be served with a nice bock beer.
