A DEMOCRATIC MANDATE IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
In Washington State, Democrat Christine Gregoire has just been declared the winner of last month's gubernatorial election by 130 votes! With her new mandate, Gregoire has an opportunity to turn her state around and seriously kick some ass.

For example:

* She has a mandate to aggressively pursue her moral agenda without consideration of any other opinion;

* She has a mandate to pack the courts with judges. Hopefully, she'll choose those 'activist judges' that seem to be all the rage these days.

* She has a mandate to bitch-slap the neighbors. Those wimps in Oregon, for instance. Or maybe even Vancouver. Damn Canadians.

I urge -- no, I implore -- Governor-elect Gregoire to take action to impose her mandate immediately upon taking office. If not sooner.

Those 130 voters deserve nothing less.
