New year.

New Congress. New hope.

Lots of work left to do.

I'm not big on the usual year end lists or predictions. Obviously, the big story for me was the election, the results were encouraging and my hopes are high.

George Bush is still the worst Preznit ever, though, and the Congressional Republicans have left an awful mess for Speaker Pelosi and her team. They'll continue to lie, because it's all they've got, and some of their lies will continue to kill people. Other lies will just rob people. All of their lies demand our diligence, because we all have a personal stake in restoring Constitutional government to our country.

And yet I'm optimistic.

We're on a roll.

It's a start.

A good one.

Happy New Year!
