MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY'RE SO IRRITABLE
Study Says Republicans Plagued By Nightmares<.center> Republicans are almost three times more likely than Democrats to suffer from nightmares and have them more frequently, according to a new study by Kelly Bulkeley, who teaches at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA, and a report from United Press International (UPI).

"Half of the dreams of Republicans in my study were classified as nightmares, compared to only about 18 percent of the dreams of Democrats," Bulkeley reports.

"Aggression, misfortune, and physical threats characterize Republican nightmares, while familiar settings and friendly characters populate the kinder, gentler bad dreams of Democrats," UPI reported. "Bulkeley also claims Democratic nightmares are tempered by the very principals Democrats claim to espouse -- hope, power, and positive action."

"If George W. Bush were the leader of my party, I'd have trouble sleeping at night, too," said DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe. "On Election Day, 2004, we're going to elect a Democratic President and our long national nightmare will be over."
