Well, Alan, I gotta tell ya they seem totally crazy and irresponsible from
this side of the water too (Ground Zero, downtown Washington, DC).  And small-
minded.  And malicious.  And power-hungry.  And hypocritical.  And self-
serving.  How did these people get into office in the first place???  Who
voted for them anyway?  It seems like some weird never-ending nightmare,
eclipsing all the real business that desperately needs to be conducted (e.g.,
health care, education, crime, social security).  I hope that history will
judge them harshly.  I hope that Americans will wake up and vote more
carefully in future elections.  I think too many Republicans in Congress right
now are more interested in posturing and posing and maintaining their
positions than they are in running the country.  They are sucking up to the
far religious right, who send them lots of money - and ignoring their
constituencies and everyone else.  They have decided Clinton should not be
president, and to hell with the majority of Americans who disagree with them
and who elected him.
