It looks like President Bush wants the new Democratic Congress to "share the responsibility" with him, according to MSNBC. Really? The new Congress hasn't even started and now Bush is warning of partisanship? Doesn't he realize that we had a Republican controlled Congress and they were guilty of partisanship?

One good thing about the Republicans in the minority is that we won't have to see pompous, suntanned Republican Rep. John Boehner pontificating every minute of the day.

Have you seen the latest Mother Jones? There is an article, written by Elizabeth Gettelman, which shows how the U.S. Army has lowered its standards to keep up their enlistment numbers. Here are some excerpts:

Then ............ Now

34 ..................... 42 ......... AGE LIMIT
10% ................. 19% ........ High School Dropouts
3 years ............. 1 day ........ Length of active duty before non-citizen soldiers can apply for citizenship

See the rest of the article at Mother Jones.
