It seems to me that a lot of people voted for Democrats in the last election because they wanted to change the direction of the Iraq War, and to eliminate the corruption that has become systematic with Republicans in charge.
So what happens? It appears that the Democrats will cave in to President Bush and give him another blank check. This is incredibly frustrating … why did we vote for Democrats in the first place? What good is it to have them in charge of Congress, they have the power of the purse, and they won’t use it?
In the past year, as I discussed over at DragonFlyEye, I have written, e-mailed, signed petitions and phoned my Congresscritters explaining why they needed to step up and stop the madness of King George. And now that the blank check is about to be voted on, what else can I do? I don’t think I can do anything more. One more phone call isn’t going to change anything.
So I’m taking a break from politics for a few days. I’m not even going to read or watch the news. It’s a politics free weekend for me. A weekend that includes ribs on the barbecue and sporting events on the TV. You have a great weekend too.

Good luck with the politics-free weekend. I think I'm going to do the same. Remember my suggestion: Salina's at the Village Gate is the only place in town where you can get the authentic Mexican Margarita (none of that stupid mix garbage) that will help ease the pain!
