PS

Today is the day.

I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop since he took office again. I have been feeling quite positively and warmly so far toward the second term. Positives:

• Social Security plan. Bush's plan is actually the best proposal yet. For more information, please visit my social security blog
• Condi Rice has done a great job of reuniting US with France, Germany, and Europe
• The Isreali/Palestinian Peace process is working quite well, thanks in no small part to new weapoons, vehicles, and training for the PA security forces, provided by the US.
• Tax reform is necessary! Make it so! No one else has the "political capital" to invest in this
  
• Tort/liability/malpractice reform is necessary.

But I have to say that finally, it has happened. He's starting to scare me anew.

1. Rhetoric against Syria - Scary. See my previous post
2. Renewed effort for constitutional ban on same-sex marriage - Stupid.
   
3. Calls for extending the Patriot Act - Scary.
4. List of Judges proposed for Federal Court postions is, ahem, frightening - Frightening
5. $82 billion more in emergency funds for Iraq

Anyhow, the list goes on. But it is soon going to again be time to fight. Thank god we have Howard now. Give 'em hell, Howard.
