Things to Look Forward to in Democrat Control of the Congress

Posted on by dubiago
  • Repealing of the Bush tax cuts
    • Increased unemployment, because the “taxes on the rich” will preclude the ability to hire new employees (will probably be blamed on Bush)
    • Increase in taxes for all taxpayers, particularly the middle class
    • Increase in frivolous, generally unconstitutional, social spending
  • Decreased funding in defense
    • Increased unemployment in all sectors of defense work
    • Decreased activity in Iraq and Afghanistan
      • Could be seen by Islamic fanaticism as surrender on our part if done in the wrong way and too early, and might spark futher attacks on American soil and interests
  • Lift on partial birth abortion ban
  • More “big” lawsuits
    • Big oil?
  • Impeachment of a wartime President
  • Trading one set of bumbling idiot millionaires for another

Of course, I hope I’m wrong on most of it, if not all of it–except for maybe the last one, I think it’s pretty accurate for many in the Congress. I’m sure there’s more I could think of, when the mental haze of morning lifts. Suffice it to say, things might kinda suck in the next few years.

Galactica and other stuff

It’s definitely getting quite interesting, to say the least. I knew they were going to get off of New Caprica, but I never would’ve imagined it would’ve been like that.

The battle above New Caprica was astounding. I couldn’t believe how Galactica released the Vipers. It was a shame the Pegasus had to be sacrificed, but it sure went out in quite the blaze.

It was definitely very weird to see all of them, sort of back to normal. Roslin was on Colonial One, Adama shaved off that mustache and everything seemed as it should have been. It seems so long since it’s been that way, but it’s only been four episodes and some change. It’ll be interesting to see where it goes the rest of this season.

I had a LAN at my pad this weekend 😀 It was quite cool, albeit a bit small. Mostly, we played FEAR Combat, UT2004 and a little bit of HL2. Nice lil gaming day.

Cardinals whooped up on the Tigers 7-2. We can only hope it’s a fluke 😛
