3. i truly wish I could feel amusement
at anything related to the past six-plus years

I know this is well done. But it does not amuse me. I can even laugh at pretty awful 'gallows humor.'

bush and the cabal behind him, and their destruction of the Great Experiment, though, just leaves me constantly sad.

My Dad died just a little before 9/11, and I have often thought that I was glad he did not have to see that happen.

I am getting to the point of feeling the same about the fall of the US. I wish I were older, had lived a naive life thinking that the great USA would eventually bring peace and prosperity to the world - the whole "truth, justice, and the American Way" mantra.

The Founding Fathers went to their graves with hopes that what they had started would last and spread. Until the last couple of years, that hope still burned brightly with many. Now I think it is flickering out. Those who believe in individual rights and freedoms are like the last of the dinosaurs - already extinct, but just don't realize it yet.

That is why I cannot be amused at the cartoon. I no longer feel optimism that history will find any fault with this administration. Fifty or a hundred years from now, will there even be any history books that acknowledge there ever was a Great Experiment?

4. Trudeau Doesn't Write to Amuse, Really
He is the little boy in the crowd, remarking that the Emperor has no clothes.

And he's seen a lot of them go by. Long live Trudeau and Doonesbury!

5. My dad was politically to the right of Hitler
and has supported every Conservative and Republican candidate, and he said that G. W. scared him. That is when I realized the world was really f@#ked.
