For those of you who've never been to a New England Town Meeting, here's proof that democracy is still alive and well in a few spots in the U.S. (And, look, Bush is at least smart enough to have visited only the other 49 states!)

Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
That's great! I'm not sure that's the kind of democracy the neo-cons want to spread around the world, though.
