It's often said that history is written by the victors. Well the Dems won, will history be rewritten?

Already in the AJC today was a letter from a reader who listed the following items as direct results of the Bush Presidency: The stock market falling from an all-time high (uh... it's up there again, except for NASDAQ, and those #'s from 1999 and 2000 were historically out of whack and due to the tech bubble, not policy), 9/11, Katrina, global warming, and pretty much every bad thing that has happened ever. And, of course, now that the Dems took Congress, all those things will be immediately fixed.

Not. I understand that the majority of people who voted Democrat aren't nearly so delusional as to think all those things are Bush's fault. But I am looking forward to seeing if Bush opponents like the New York Times staff start to reinterpret current events more favorably, so as to make the new Congress look better.

I'm also hoping the Democrats do some good. Maybe the conservatives that the Democrats hypocritically supported as Democrats will drag the party kicking and screaming into doing the right things. I fear for health care, though.

As a side note, the state of Michigan passed a ban on affirmative action. The President of the University of Michigan then said, basically, that the ban sucks and she and her lawyers are going to do their best to get around it, and continue to admit students based on the color of their skin instead of their academic qualifications. She even said, and this is a quote, "The University of Michigan is diversoty." Huh... I thought it was supposed to be an institution of higher learning, but I guess now it's just higher indoctrination.
