Republicans/conservatives are doing what … driving the get-a-way car?  Are you suggesting there’s a choice -humiliation/silence vs subjugation/silence. Many of us are damn angry and little ol’ moi is fuming, foaming at-the-mouth-fire-breathing incensed. Unless and until the same fury permeates the fiber of the GOP – nothing will change. Not tomorrow, not next week and not in November. If we can open a web site and read, just what the hell are the elected officials doing - Not reading or not giving a damn. They certainly have more access to information than we’ll ever be able to read on the web.

Apologies for the double post. I am very cranky. 

In a brief written statement from the White House, President Barack Obama announced Monday afternoon that the upcoming G8 summit will be held at Camp David, MD and not in Chicago as had been planned.
The announcement was unexpected and came without any warning, less than 12 weeks before the dual meetings were to be held for the first-time ever on American soil.
A building firestorm of controversy surrounded the summits; including threats by anarchist organizations to disrupt life in downtown Chicago; concerns about violence and civil unrest harming ongoing city business; gridlock and the inability to get from one place to another in Chicago.
