Where is the discussion of the quiet Paleo-Con revolution last night?
So last night, it seems a plan was put in motion to tap George I buddies to rescue the Chimperor. Baker commission member Gates is being tapped to replace Neo-Con Rummy. Bolton will definitely be removed at the UN.

Moderate repukes lost last night, even Lincoln Chafee who didn't support the war and wrote in his George I's name last election. This has scared and emboldened the moderate pukes, who can see that if they had had the misfortune of running last night, they too would be out. I think we are seeing a quiet revolution and the end of the Cheney administration. I think the Neo-cons are out, and we will see George I setting up virtual shop in the WH. Either way, it is Civil War inside the Republican Party, as the moderates scramble to toss out what's left of the disease and try to salvage their party.

Can't find a thread discussing this? Is it anywhere? If not, please discuss.

2. Faulknerian context (old)
Fine day, isn't it, Georgie, Daddy said. Daddy was pitching horseshoes. Horseshoes flew through the air and it was hot. Jeb looked at me. Stand back or one of his horseshoes is going to hit you and knock you down real good, Jeb said. Jeb threw the horseshoe and it went right over the stick and Daddy clapped. Run and get me that horseshoe, Georgie, Daddy said. I ran and picked up the horseshoe. The metal was hot in my hands, and I held it for a little bit and then I dropped it. I picked it up. It was hot in my hands and I started running away from Daddy and Jeb. Come back with that horseshoe, Daddy said. I was running as fast as I could. Jeb run after him and get me my horseshoe before he throws another one in the river, Daddy hollered. Jeb was chasing after me fast. Come back with that horseshoe, Georgie, Jeb hollered. But I was fast and I kept running until I got to the river. Dont you dare throw that horseshoe in the river, Jeb said. I threw the horseshoe in the river. Jeb fell on the ground. Jeb kicked and cried and then I cried.
