Candy Crowley of CNN says you are a "political junkie" if you remember that today is the anniversary of the 2000 Supreme Court decision in which George W. Bush was selected president of the United States.

Imagine that. According to Crowley, to just happen to never be able to forget the day that giant corporations--working hand in hand with the legal system and the religious right--stole a major election in the supposed land of the free...to just happen to not be able to forget that day makes you a political junkie.

And these last three years I was under the mistaken impression that it made me an American.
