"Bush: Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over."

The headline is from the Onion but it ain't far off base.

Majority Whip Roy Blunt has a post on his website that claims that if Dems win control of Congress they'll establish a "Department Of Peace."

Remember when peace was something this country supported? Remember the Paris Peace Talks? Remember "Peace In Our Time"?

Again, from the Onion:

President-elect Bush vows that "together, we can put the triumphs of the recent
past behind us."

That the Onion saw it coming in January of 2001 is an even poorer reflection on the rest of us.
