a couple of things....
First, I noticed in some reports this evening that the President's "legacy" is said to be in tatters because his second attempt at pushing the immigration reform bill through the congress has apparently failed. Big time. To that I say, respectfully, "bullshit". This presidents legacy will not become clear for several years, and possibly a decade or more as we see and take note of the fallout from his many actions and inactions.
On a related note, Georgie sounded off this week about Fidel Castro, his wish that he would "disappear", and the nations need to be prepared for that eventuality. What's he afraid of, the price of banana's pushing the Consumer Price Index that much higher? I agree that the country needs to be prepared for these eventualities, but face it, when George speaks, the whole situation simply disintegrates. We don't know what will happen when Fidel dies, but it is certainly not going to be much. Cuba ceased to be a military threat to us in early 1963 when the last launcher was shipped back to the USSR. It could have been completely neutralized in the 70's by allowing some trade and tourism. A steady diet of US dollars and vices does much to undercut the revolutionary spirit. But, here we are, with another president, who, having done not too many things really well, has made sure that we have a huge barrier in our way when we try to ease things between us and that little island.
Then we have the true commander in chief, (the big) Dick Cheney, the Edgar Bergen of the GOP. I truly believe that the man was picked to run for VP before the front runner was selected, as he was somebody that all the other 'somebodies' could do business with.
There is much to be said about this, but I am tired and will keep it short. The Times of London has an interesting little piece on the vice presidency in general and this one in particular, and it raises a couple of fair points.
Right now, I am going to say that Dick Cheney may be George II's enduring legacy, for better, or most likely worse.
so there.

You know someone'll say Cuba's still a threat because any land not under U.S. control is a potential terrorist haven.
right now, anyplace is a potential terrorist haven. your local hospital may well be a potential terrorist haven. the so-called Doctors Plot in the UK may do more for tightening immigration restrictions than any three dozen laws currently on the books or being considered.
you didn't say anything about the tune Woozie....
