Another long four years (Brattleboro)
Did anyone notice the irony during President Bush's inaugural address on Thursday that as Bush talked about freedom, security personnel were dragging away peaceful protesters?

Does this mean that the president's words -- "when you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you" -- do not apply to those who oppose him? <snip>

The president said that he believes in "the durable wisdom of the Constitution." Does this mean he will dismantle the Patriot Act and stop appointing judges who want to roll back our civil liberties? <snip>

No, Thursday's inaugural address was just the latest in a long line of empty words coming from the lips of an empty man. It's going to be a long four years for America and the rest of the world.
