It’s been an interesting couple of days, hasn’t it? I keep reading stories from the pundit class, trying to give their spin on why “Democrats did so well.” All the ones I’ve read missed the point entirely. Democrats won big because the Republicans in general – and the Bush Administration specifically – are the most corrupt, disgusting, and inept bunch of demons to be set loose on our government at least in my lifetime, and most probably the history of the United States. And that’s saying a lot.
The question they really ought to be asking is, “why the fuck did it take so long for Americans to figure it out?” That’s what the rest of the world must be thinking. So, anyway, I vote we take a couple of days to enjoy this (it’s been a long time since we’ve had an election to be happy about) before we start in with “the Democrats suck” stuff. In fact, maybe we can give ’em until they actually take over. We all have a lot of work to come January, so we ought to rest up a bit. Speaking of which, I think I’ll go back to bed, and hopefully wake up again some time tomorrow afternoon.
Oh, and if you’re out there in LA, go see Marc at the Ex-Druggie Show at the UCB Theater.
