Check out this really good article in The Stranger: Victory is Ours by Ted Rall.
First, I love the comparison of the Nixon administration to the shrub jr. administration. In fact, I saw a fabulous bumper sticker the other day with a picture of "president" shrub jr. that read, "Nixon was re-elected too."
Second, I love that people are starting to come around to realize how awful this administration is. Granted, as Rall states, it's too friggin' late since the election is over and we're stuck with this administration for the next 3 1/2 years, but at least we can say that we knew it all along.
Now we need to work on the educational system in this country and reverse years of budget cuts at the hands of republicans. At least that way, the next several generations wouldn't end up so easily brainwashed into voting for people who actually work against the common good.

One of the things that really hit home with me over the last couple of years was how many people from our parents' generation kept saying "This is nothin' compared to Nixon." It's easy to lose perspective when you're wrapped up in your own generations problems.
What I am hoping is that this guy will not go down in history books as some great liberator. If my kids can read about how crappy a president Bush was when they are going to high school, then I'll be a happy camper.
