Here's one more thing to be thankful for. Denny Hastert has announced he's going to step down early, perhaps before Thanksgiving.
As the parent of small children, it seems to me that these Republicans leaving early smacks of preschool mentaility: "I'm taking my ball and going home" when things aren't going their way.

This comes after he announced he wasn't running again, but would serve out the rest of his term. Apparently he's not big enough (well, he is BIG enough) to handle watching the Dems run things. Geez, the dems arent' even raking them over the coals and ramming through legislation like they did when they were the majority.
Lack of stamina, poor sportsmanship, immaturity, just more true republican colors showing through.
Sorry about the short diary, but I wanted to get this posted before running to a meeting.
