The annals of history, as noted in Wikipedia, duly record the following with regard to "The Boxer Rebellion" of the early 20th Century:The Boxer Rebellion was a Chinese rebellion from November 1899 to September 7, 1901 against foreign influence in areas such as trade, politics, religion and technology that occurred in China during the final years of the Qing Dynasty.
John Nichols, refers to something completely different in his piece called The Boxer Rebellion: "the person who changed the course of history with regard to the debate over the Bush administration's nominee for secretary of state [...snip...] was Barbara Boxer..." This time, the Boxer Rebellion was the first time that the excess and free passes of the Bush Administration were directly challenged.It's time for another "Boxer Rebellion" in the Senate; it's time for both chambers, in fact, to finally rise to meet the challenge of curbing the most dangerous and deceitful Administration in history. Senators Boxer, Feingold and others - are you listening?
