On pubic opinion and the rule of law and accountability; Irish women win!

Of Note:

--digby at Hullaboo has a few things to say about Chaney and Nixon and Ford and the Republicans and history. For instance:

Cheney thinks that history vindicated Ford and therefore history will vindicate him too. Not in a million years. History will show that from Nixon to the Codpiece, the Republican Party has been progressively more criminal and more aggressively undemocratic and imperialistic.

Hmmm. She also thinks the Nixon pardon was a mistake:

Allowing Nixon to get away with his crimes while his fellow Republicans angrily stewed over the injustice of his downfall is what led to the ongoing usurpation of the constitution under Republican rule. They believe the president is above the law and the constitution. Why wouldn't they? They do these things and there's no accountability...

Hmmm. I think she would just as soon see them all in jail paying for their crimes. I know that there are some good Republicans - they all can't be bad; same with the Democrats - they all can't be good. I agree with digby and, she'll be happy to hear, have already talked with Dante about the appropriate ring of hell for these scoundrels.

-Woke up to sunrise and daylight and children laughing not all that long ago. And then I read digby. Sea change...

-Irish women last night trashed the Oklahoma Sooners, coming from seven down late to beat them in overtime. Just told Danielle to half way mention the win to her Sooner husband, Phil. In jest, of course.

-Did I mention it's a golf day? Might even be a golf weekend. Holy Cow and Mary too! Good things breaking out all over the place. Best get myself over yonder (to the golf course) and do some meeting and greeting.
