Via Daily Kos, we learn that a lot can change in four years.

"May, 2008 feels a lot different than May of 2004, that's for sure. Four years ago the Abu Ghraib scandal was unfolding, John Kerry had the nomination locked up and turned his attention toward his VP pick, and President Bush insisted that Americans owed Donald Rumsfeld "a debt of gratitude" for...something. Still serving at the pleasure of the president were Ashcroft, Powell, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Ridge, Gonzales, Norton, Rove, Miers, and McClellan. Oil was $40 a barrel and the price of gas soared to $2 a gallon. Here on the intertubes, bloggers were starting to be taken seriously as debate-framers, fact-checkers and money-raisers. (But it would still be awhile before the "Bloggers type their screeds in their jammies" meme would run its course.)"
