Do you know why the Government of Kyrgyzstan collapsed?
President Askar Akayev's government collapsed Thursday after opposition protesters took over the presidential compound and government offices, throwing computers and air conditioners out of windows in a frenzy of anger over corruption and a disputed election.

Perhaps this is a clue to the American People, this has happened in another country too, perhaps we should follow suit.

3. When will the American people wake up and realize that
our government has been taken over by right-wing fundamentalists and right-to-lifers? After the past 10 days of Schaivo-mania and the Social Security Trainwreck, can there be any doubt that these people are just plain nuts? We cant vote them out because they control the elections (just ask Peter King). Physical force may be the only way to remove them.

4. I wish Americans had done the same in our last election.
Of course, there are too many chicken-shits who think everything was honky dory!
