With George W. Bush in the White House for the next four years and the G.O.P. in full command of Congress, K Street is suddenly no place for a battered and bruised donkey. Thousands of Washington Democrats have to find a Plan B, as unlike John Kerry, not all of them have a safe job in the U.S. Senate to go back to. A look at the reincarnations of men who once aspired to be President. By Peter Bailey...

...again. Also the game costs a reasonable $50, but if you want any social value to come of this, you’ll have to buy a second set of bongos at $30. That’s a hefty price tag, so I can’t recommend Donkey Konga beyond those who are already into DDR-style games or those who want to get into them. But for those millions, Konga will resurrect the glorious days when Power Pad was king...
