For axis of evil, I would like to nominate Mike Nifong, Patrick Fitzgerald, and Johnny Sutton. To me they are the embodiment of government gone mad. Instances of government failures is the power given to environmentalists and ensuring that we can’t attain energy independence by drilling in ANWR, the continental shelf, and building new refineries and nuclear power plants. Years down the road, if an energy crisis occurs, the Democrats will blame the Republicans, and the role of the environmentalists will be forgotten. It’s the same with the massive wild fires this year - the environmentalists haven’t received any blame.

I may have my facts wrong, but I understand that Johnny Sutton appeared before the Senate, giving testimony without having to be under oath. That he also gave immunity to a drug dealer who tried to bring 749 pounds of drugs into the country, just to have him give honest testimony in Sutton’s case against the two border agents, is utter nonsense.

The macho ole Harry is having a slumber party tonight. Hopefully we will get to see Robert Byrd entertaining everyone as he has since the Civil Rights Bill of 1964. Too bad Everett Dirksen wasn’t still here and we could hear a voice worthy of a Senator, and not the inane whining that you hear from the Democrats. I have been impressed by the Democrats pursuit of passing laws to protect and enable the American public to have a better life. Let’s see now - the House has had a very impressive period. They have had investigations, investigations, and investigations. The Democratic Senate has had a similar impressive record. They have had investigations, investigations, and investigations. On top of that, they have tried to have bipartisan action, even going so far as to have a slumber party to encourage friendship.

I am sure they will spend the night extolling the economic progress under the Bush administration and how the tax cuts passed under Bush were to correct the recession he inherited from Clinton. They will probably talk about the first two miserable years of the Clinton administration and how the country thrived with the first Republican Congress in years and years - oh yeah… and how he went after Osama Bin Laden so many times - also, his integrity and moral values that have contributed so to the American social fabric.
