And You Will Know I Am The President When I Rain My Vengeance Upon You...

OK, so I'm a bit confused about what threats are going out to Republicans who dare to oppose their Commander In Chief. First, it was John McCain, prior to the election, criticizing the Administration. A visit from the Prez and our wayward Senator was toeing the party line once again. I've always admired Senator McCain, even if I don't agree with him. He's a man who speaks his mind and isn't prone to parroting the party jargon like so many other politicians. It was really scary to see him gagged, even temporarily.

This latest incident really has me wondering. Republican Senator Voinavich says that John Bolton is "The poster child of what someone in the diplomatic corps should not be". After having the courage to stand against his fellow Republicans, and cataloguing Bolton's failures at diplomacy, he....Hold the Phone!...votes to continue with the nomination process. Huh?

What hold does the Administration have on all of these would-be dissenters? Nude photos of Jane Fonda? Salacious e-mails from gay lovers? We should be very frightened that officials elected to retain the checks and balances our founding fathers carefully put into place, are so frightened of whatever repercussions they might receive, they will vote against their consciences to stay on the President's good side. Why have the Republicans suddenly come up with this "My way or the highway" attitude--51% of the vote is NOT a mandate, and I'm guessing a lot of those folks have come to their senses in the last five months. Politics is about compromise from BOTH sides and our President and elected officials do not seem to be willing to do that.

All seriousness aside, here is a website where you can purchase your very own "Bad Motherfucker" wallet just like Jules. Buy one and intimidate someone today.

OK, I still need some entries in my Caption Contest. Don't be shy, give me some captions. There's still time to beat Michael's hilarious caption!
