What do you call the Bush years?
I called the Reagan through Bush I years "The Dark Years." The Bush Years are "The Unrecognizable Years." Because I'm thinking, where is my country?

9. Good one
Also, I think "The Coup Years" might be better than my "Unrecognizable Years" idea.

4. The "Pretend Years"
He's playing President like you used to "play school" or "play house" when you were little. He's playing Pres. to try and be like his daddy. He doesn't have a clue.

15. You stole my thoughts!!
When I read the headline -- I thought -- the bush years: "The beginning of the end."

Your addition is right on: "if we don't do something to end it!"

The murder of the students at Kent State -- and no one lost their job or is serving time in jail for murder.

When that happened -- that was one of a string of "the beginning of the end." Perhaps beginning with the murder of JFK and the sham of an investigation.

17. Guess we all have that horrible feeling in the pit of our stomachs...
That foreboding dread that it is all coming undone if we don't do something to make it come to a screeching halt. :-(

20. "High school" and "college"
That's what they've been to me. Also, "My Personal Enlightenment." As much as these years have sucked, I think I really forged my own unique identity in them (perhaps because of them).
