Watch this week unfold:

This coming week could be a very bad one for Bush. The speech on Monday about immigration isn't likely to help. It's not a topic people relish discussing, and whatever Bush proposes will take time to work (if it can work). Then, expect Rove to be indicted. Plus, further revelations about the NSA snooping. Top that off with continued high gas prices and further mayhem in Iraq, and you've got a potent mix of negatives. Oh, and don't forget that the housing market is cooling down - removing a potent palliative.

Perhaps I'm just reflecting my own mood right now, but I get the feeling that this country is close to full-blown disgust with Bush. Like it's about to lurch out of its passivity and towards open hostility to the powers that be.

I opined on the same subject. There seems to be a confluence of bad tidings for the fascists. Their thin veneer of respectability is disappearing. I get the feeling something pretty big is close and it's not going to be pretty.

Bad time to be Iranian..

The White House will probably respond, "Look over there! Two guys kissing!", and suddenly no one will really care about what's happening in Iraq or Iran or on the Mexican border.

It has taken so long, please let the momentum take as long in the other direction. In other words, 2+ years of slow but steady hatred of Bush and the neocons, with multiple indictments, impeachments, jailings, etc, and ZERO POWER to screw things up further, culminating in a total loss at the polls in 2008.

It's no fair if 5 years of malfeasance and media softball only generates a 1 year backlash.
