Thank Goodness
It's over, truly and finally over. Conceded and accepted. No riots, no vandalism (yet), no pathetic excuse making... Well, there is a bit of sour grapes and there have been a few calls for insurection from some of the more left fringe pundits, bloggers, and celebs. That was to be expected, as they do it even when they are ahead.
The next several weeks will be telling, both about them and about the direction this country takes as a whole. I genuinely hope that level heads prevail, and that people show some restraint and at least try to find the common ground that we all share, whether we will admit it or not.
Elizabeth and John Edwards can go home and print up new business cards for his law practice. I'm sure there are plenty of Vioxx patients around who will take their imaginiary problems to him, as well as the few remaining Fen-Phen cases still laying around eating cheese-doodles and watching Jerry Springer from their couches. Hell, I hear there's a load of money to be made from a Twinkie Liability suit when someone files it. They'll be fine.
T'Ray-za and John Kerry can take the family SUV to Jackson Hole for some early snowboarding. At least now there won't be any of those damned inconvenient Secret Service men in the way to slide into on the slopes. I'm sure Jeeves won't mind being on hand with his ever present Igloo cooler of Fois Gras, duck confit en salade, Napoleon Brandy, and imported water wafers. The next session will start soon, so he has something to look forward to missing 60% of the time. Life will go on, and will be good. He can always do like Friend Bill and join some overpriced speakers bureau.
Sure, it will be hard for them to give up the photo-ops at Wendys and traveling in the motor coach. But they won't have the Swifties haranguing them either. Think of that as a bright spot, at least until his next bid for Senate. Think people will forget by then? Well, in a normal state, no, but we are talking Taxechussets.
I, for one, am glad we don't have to pretend to be compassionate conservatives anymore. Everyone will have to line up for their crucifix tattoos, and their recitation of the Patriot Act, and have a Star of David and the State of Israel carved into their scalps.
Bushitler II is going to be awesome.

Have you been reading your own blog?
I'm all for people standing up for what they believe in, but please. You can do better.
Posted by: Hugh at November 4, 2004 07:35 AMGreat post Mama, I agree. While both men posess certain "qualities" I do not agree with Bush is clearly the better man for an America in the world today. We need not ask permission to defend ourselves nor do we need the assistance of a United Nations that is funded by us.
As for Hugh

Yes, go re-read any of my posts, and take note that while I might engage in hyperbole, I have never advocated going out and hunting down the loser's supporters, assasinating candidates with whom I disagree, incarcerating the loyal opposition in some VRWC gulag; what I WAS doing was simply responding to the (hopefully) equivalent hyperbole of the Left.
I was merely stating that if they wished to engage in a violent insurection in response to the presidential election, I was prepared to defend my home, my family, my livelihood, and my rights as a citizen. The "Locked and Loaded/Fields of Fire" terms are merely vestages of my military background.
I'm not going to sit on my couch, beer in one hand, remote in the other, watching NASCAR and singing Kumbaya while my home and my neighbors' homes are torched or riddled by indiscriminate gunfire. I WILL respond in kind to anyone who breaches the doors of my home.
In essence, if anyone feels froggy, Jump. I'm ready. Oh, by the way, Mama is a better shot than I, and I'm sure she has my back covered.
