The Morning After (the post where I gloat a bit)

After six years of being held hostage by the neocon Republicans, it looks like the citizenry may have woken up. They had a chance to stop the madness in 2004, but passed on that opportunity because they identified more with a shiftless moron than they did with a decorated mostly-well-spoken intelligent veteran.

Where has throwing your lot in with the moron gotten you, red-staters? Fucking nowhere, that's where. Your glorious leader lied us into a war and has taken steps toward making our homeland over into a theocratic police state.

Well, guess what? The jig is up. You don't control the House any more, and you're probably not going to control the Senate, either, barring fraud. Your leader doesn't have a blank check any more.

I gotta say, I'm pretty happy right now. Even if the only thing the Democrats accomplish is to block anything Shrub wants to do, it's a victory. If they get nothing done other than doing no further harm, it's a victory.

To all the folks out there who still support Bush, I have this to say: Neener neener neener. Take a seat and let the real patriots try to get us out of the mess you've created.

To the Democrats: Please please please do not fuck this up. If you fuck this up, the backlash in 2008 will be colossal, and I don't want to have to move to Canada to escape the lynching progressives are going to get if a more effective neocon gets elected to the White House.

Oh, and big shout out to my home state, Missouri: Thanks for not sucking this time, guys. :)
