Nixon was run out of office? (Remember, Nixon had no use for Congress. Nada.) <BR/><BR/>Sometimes, the senate can be a very powerful place! How's that? What do I mean? Well a long time ago, a man named Julius Caesar was told not to go to the senate that day. But he did. <BR/><BR/>In Plutarch (which Shakespeare used to tell his story), there's a statement Julius Caesar made about a "lean and hungry man." Cassius, I do believe.<BR/><BR/>Now, from history, the Roman Empire began with AUGUSTUS. (Except, that's just a name change. Cassius. THe "lean and hungry" guy. WHo took advantage.)<BR/><BR/>ANd, history not only can turn on a dime; but it can turn when a leader bites the dust.<BR/><BR/>What's it gonna look like when the dust clears in the senate, now? In one report I read, I read that Karl Rove was caught off guard on these judicial nominees. He had no advertisements in the can. WHich could also mean he hadn't tested the PR, either. Because advertisements aren't made until words and themes are tested out, first.<BR/><BR/>In ten years will anyone even remember the names of some of these senate players? REALLY?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
