OT: Actually the greatest waste of time is being clearly demonstrated by the next Wannabe Bureaucrat in Chief, Al Gore. Chads, dimples, partisan canvassing boards, officiating part-time bureaucrats clamoring for their very own 10 minutes of CNN fame from their kitchens ("I am choosing the next President of the United State, blah blah"), everchanging procedures over minutae, Jesse Jackson, Auschwitz Survivors - this is precisely the recipe that spells unending bureaucracy, lack of clarity and lack of statesmanship. Gore is simmering the crock pot of the cooking he knows best: befuddlement, balderdash and deceptive bureaucratic bs. If his efforts in Kafkaesque manipulation do get him to the office of Bureaucrat in Chief, all we can expect will be four more years of the same gamesmanship from Gore and his minions so inelegantly on display in Florida.

Our government will be the largest Gordian knot in the world. Good. They won't be doing anything new to, err, for us. On CNBC election coverage they presented statistics showing that historically the market performs best under a Democratic President and a Republican Legislature. When government can't do it to the people and business the economy thrives. Gridlock is good for everyone without a Grand Agenda that they want to make everyone else swallow. That these people who know what's best for everyone will be frustrated for the next four years is not only a Good Thing, it is a Great Thing. The only things that need done is transforming the Social Security system from an entitlement into a retirement account and emasculating the IRS. These are both things that won't happen now but that wouldn't have happened anyway. (And notice that both of these are reductions in government influence, another reason that they never had a chance.) "That government is best which governs least." -- Thomas Jefferson
