That sickening thud you heard was the sound of the GOP's control of the US Congress hitting the floor after 14 years. And that quack you heard was President George W. Bush's lame duck act. We start with our usual lighting quick (?) News You May Have Missed which includes some obscure yet humourous election tidbits. The meat of the discussion - how did the Democrats do it and what does it all mean? We'll explain possible scenarios leading up to 2008 and also discuss if Tuesday's nights debacle hurts PM Stephen Harper and his connection (at the hip) to the American neocons? Is this the end of a beautiful (yet oddly one sided) relationship or just the Peter MacKay making goo goo eyes at Condoleezza Rice? And what about Michael Ignatieff? We also discuss the abrupt departure of DefSec Rumsfeld and how President Bush lied (why can't anyone use the word "lie" on the US media anyway?) to the Press about Rummy's impending departure. And please join rabble. You can do so here: http://www.rabble.ca/about_us/membership.shtml?x=40387 Til next time.
