TaTa Democracy-- it was great while it lasted.
I had difficulty selecting a picture ugly enough to express my disgust at the outcome of this election. The snarl on the cat's face (hopefully not lost in reduction) and the arch of it's back, though inadequate, will have to suffice. Although it's not over -- and you can be certain the neocons are pulling out every wrench they have, to twist Ohio into submission -- the kids didn't show up. It's their future, and they just didn't show up. And half the country believes that forcing women to raise unwanted children, killing 115,000 Iraqi civilians, and trashing the environment for short term profit are moral values. Whereas, such hideous acts as using stem cells to cure disease, and allowing gay men and women to marry are despicable. I despair for this country. I am girding myself for four more years of secrets, spin, short sightedness and increasing global animosity toward us. We have reelected a President who revels in war.
Did you hear that China slammed Bush ? A little too late, in my book. And this, even after Colin Powell offered to sell Taiwan down the drain last week . What's up?
Adding to my distress this morning is the fact that, in trying to get the spammy junk off my blog, I mistakenly erased some profound, informative, sincere, and funny comments. A heartfelt apology to the erased, PLEASE don't stop writing. I learned my technical lesson, I think.
On the bright side, I am proud that I was able to refrain from the use of profanity this morning. You may feel free to congratulate me. I promise not to erase anything.
Here's the pot calling the cat black. There is no voter fraud, only voter suppression.
