To mark the final departure of Dick and Bush today, I dug up this picture. It truly sums up the last eight years, don´t you think? ...

As one banner said in the crowd today: "We have overcome". We all know, we will have to do that again and again and again! But at least not of G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney!
