...And deliver us from George Bush

I think I am finally coming out of my depressed state.  It only took a month but as you know these things take time.  Yes, I'm depressed about men and money but those are constant depressions.  No, this one was much more immediate.  I was still upset about that farce of a presidential election we had last month.  I was in serious depression the entire day when I heard that Bush had won.  I couldn't believe it!  I was shaken to the very core of my being.  What does this say about our country?  I ran the scenarios back and forth then forth and back.  Economic, social, domestic, foreign, they all came out the same to me.  This country has taken a shit on itself, can't smell it and there is no one there to change the diaper!  Then came the mad rush to jump the proverbial ship with the resignation of such popular cabinet members as Colin Powell.  All I can say is Dude, you should have left about 2 years ago when your integrity didn't have so many holes in it!  Oddly enough this administration had no problem keeping the one man who should have been kicked out on his keaster, Don (I'm too sexy for this war) Rumsfeld. 

 

Lately I've been feeling like Ned Beatty in the movie 'Deliverance'.  It's just a matter of time before the religious right makes me squeal like a pig.  But I have come to some point of equilibrium that keeps me going through the day and also keeps me from hopping on the first jet out of this back woods country.  And that is the simple knowledge that he will be gone in four years!  Four years isn't that long.  Humph!  I just realized that a lot can happen in four years!  The war in Iraq could escalate, the dollar could continue to fall, the economy could go to shit, there could be another terrorist attack and I could get more gray hair.  Well, as you know I always try to look on the bright side.  At least I have the power to take care of one of these nasty foretellings.  I can always buy Grecian Formula!
