Small victories

The Patriot act extended for only a month

That's a hell of a lot better than indefinitely.

Bush is doing his best to remove the freedoms of the people, and this is at least a tentative slap in his face.

But as small blessings go, I'll take this...

They were completely ready and willing to impeach a Preseident over a blowjob .. but there were never any sanctions for the President that lied his nation into a war...

But only a president is accountable for his actions. Dictators can make up their own rules as they go along, and most gain power while an external threat is ongoing and able to be used as a platform. Castro got power this way. So did Stalin. And Mao Tse-tung.

I did exercise my legal voting rights last year, but sadly, my participation did not change the outcome that I feared.
