When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Drought Holds Much of East in Its Grip; Fires Spread Bob Stauber, a National Weather Service meteorologist, said: "We got a system that's keeping the winds blowing from land. The moisture from the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico is cut off from coming inland."
The drought is being cited as a cause of the worst outbreak of forest fires in the Appalachians in a decade.
Heavy smoke from fires shrouded eastern Kentucky's mountains today, contributing to a chain-reaction car wreck south of Pikeville that killed one man.
Channel 97 interupts your reading to warn you to remain calm. Officials at this time do not believe terrorists have gained control of the earth's rotation and are redirecting winds. Although Osama bin Laden quoted a passage in the Koran which says the damp shall become dry and the parched shall drink, officials do not at this time see any correlation between binLaden's animosity toward the U.S. and the unnatural weather conditions in the eastern states. Citizens are advised to go about their normal business and not panic. People in Kentucky should wear damp handkerchiefs over their nose and mouth. Women are advised to cover their hair entirely and wear long garments.
In unrelated news, the House of Representatives has relocated to a subtropical spot in southern Florida. "Rain is the best cure for chapped lips I know of," said the House Majority Leader Dick Armey, who also announced the launch of his new personal web site at http://freedom.house.gov/.
