An interesting article, Julie. Fissiparous means reproducing by fission,
dividing into two equal parts, each of which is capable of independent
growth, but I don't know what the author means by the term.
I have heard others describe the Democratic Party in similar terms to those
in the article. Democrats know what they are against, i.e., anything that
Bush is for, but they don't know what they are for, or they don't know in
any terms that are going to get their candidate elected.

A sometimes odd and skewed, occasionally incisive, and pretty amusing piece.
I do love the take on the U.S. by the British media .... the bumper sticker
quotes are worth a laugh at least -- I've not seen some of them.
(Who knows the word "fissiparous"? I've never even seen it before!)

obviously vocabulary deficient
