some people have such a morbid fascination with the most bizarre things.....<g> Yeah! Like how The Supreme Court elected Bush as the US President. At least, I won't have to watch the tv news tonight, and if the Supreme Court can boycott the State of the Union address, like they did last year. I'll do the same this year. Historians will have a plenty to write about over the Florida Farce. I can't wait to see what the film makers do with it." May The Supreme Court be Damned!!!!! ***************************************************** "Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., urged Democrats to abide by the Supreme Court decision, but said that ``with every bone in my body and every ounce of moral strength in my soul'' he disagreed with the high court. He called it ``a willing tool of the Bush campaign'' that ``orchestrated a questionable 'velvet legal coup.''' The Texan would become the first presidential candidate since Benjamin Harrison 1888 to lose the national popular vote but win the state electoral contest and thus the White House." The electoral vote split would be the closest electoral since 1876, when Rutherford B. Hayes defeated Samuel J. Tilden by one electoral vote in an election settled in the House of Representatives." Bush is set to complete the nation's second father-son presidential team after John Adams (1797-1801) and John Quincy Adams (1825-1829). He (BUSH)has relied on his well-to-do family's connections, both to raise money and build the foundations of a new administration. ********************************************************* The preparation for Madonna's Buddhist wedding in a castle in Scotland may be the next media event! And she is getting married on my birthday. What a treat! (ggg)-Mephisto
