Did I imply that the best government is the least government?

As for much not getting done, I'd be quite happy if the 108th Congress would just hold off for about a year so we can catch or breath and let the economy stabalize. Fat chance that, of course. No, we must have our pork barrels now, mustn't we? |

Historical Point.
Only 3 times in the last century have the presidency, House, and Senate been controlled by the same party. The last time a first term Republican president had his party gain control of both the House and the Senate was exactly 100 years ago, in 1902, under Teddy Roosevelt. I guess that gets an asterisk though. Roosevelt wasn't elected to the presidency in 1900, William McKinley was and Roosevelt was his VP. McKinley was assasinated in 1901. How does this pertain to the debate here? It doesn't, I just thought it was interesting.

I think Buffy or Smallville is on in that timeframe so I don't have to depend on the Left Wing West Wing for entertainment
