One specific target of opportunity for next year is Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, where 62% of voters are telling pollsters they want someone other than Reid as their Senator next year. Not yet known in Washington is the emerging powerhouse candidacy of Chuck Kozak, who will be running next year against Reid I'm a resident of NV and keep fairly up to date on the political scene here, but I've never heard of Chuck Kozak. That being said, I'll support and vote for whoever runs against Reid. The GOP could nominate the Madam of the Bunny Ranch Brothel or even my neighbors dog, anyone other than Reid.. It's unfortunate that NV's other Senator, Ensign, as well as our GOP Governor, Gibbons, have severe character flaws to go along with decent political positions. Don't know what it is about politicians and sleazy morals, but when "family values" GOP'ers screw up (literally), they give the Dems plenty of talking point ammo... :-(

Thanks, KLP. I sent this to several of my 'thinking' friends. Have you seen this one? God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired, "Where have you been?" God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made." Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said. "What is it?" "It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance." "Balance?" inquired Michael, "I'm still confused." God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while Southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things." God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice.." The Archangel , impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?" "That's Washington State , the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains. The people from Washington State are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of software." Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance." God smiled, "There's another Washington . Wait till you see the idiots I put there."
