Vote For Kodos - A Fickle Town
My favorite thing about politics (and I'm sure this is universal of politics everywhere, though my knowledge of America is greater than of any other land) is how quickly we all were always against what previously we were for. During the Clinton Administration, the Republican majority in Congress bemoaned uncontrolled government spending and enforced relative austerity, yet under President Bush pork barrel politics have returned with a vengeance. Following 9/11 and especially the release of the 9/11 Commission's Final Report, congressional Democrats called for sweeping reform of the intelligence community, including calling for heads to roll at the CIA, but now that Director Goss is cleaning house in Langley, they are crying foul. As often happens, I am reminded of Futurama, "It's time someone had the courage to say, I'm against those things everybody hates."
