Well? Now What?

Hmmm....

It's been a week now. I'd promised myself that I'd wait a week before updating because I didn't want this site to evolve into another rightwing nutjob site. I didn't want to hash out the election over and over. I'll make mention of it of course, but I wanted to let the fever die down out there.

But is the fever dying down?? Or is the new American pass-time a game that includes:

Self-serving, Look at me, I hate myself and my country drivel?
Racist, Bigoted, Insulting, Profane Rantings?
Conspiracy Theories taken as fact?
And the media embracing "false but accurate" reporting?

It's been horrible to watch this whining, sniveling bunch of the sorest losers ever to go through their death throws. There are even people in Florida trying to describe this as "Post-election stress disorder" and they're trying to say that some kid was distraught over the election and decided to "blow his head off with a shotgun in downtown manhattan?" Gimme a break. In the first case, YOU LOST, GET OVER IT! In the second, there was definately something else going on there, it's hard enough to walk around NYC with a shotgun, let alone blow your OWN head off with one.

So can we expect now that people will try to claim disability because their presidential candidate lost? Yeah, I'm sure someone will try to sue Bush, or Rove, or the RNC, or the Swifties or even the DNC and the Kerry Kamp. They'll claim that their negligance or some BS cost them their electoral rights and they now need a stipend from the government so they can sit around and bitch about the government all day. It's out there, just around the corner folks.

But Hey, it's time to move on, and for me, it's great news that Bush is President. He's the guy I voted for, not because of the War on Terror, or for the return of family values, not for anything other than he was my guy, the guy that I trusted, the guy that didn't defame my dad's service in Vietnam, the guy that I believe will do better job with the economy, the guy that I believe will do a better job with education, the guy that I believe will do a better job on balancing America's responsibility to the world and her responsibility to her citizens.

That's the whole point right? America is supposed to work toward her own self-interests first right??? Isn't that the whole point of this geo-political game. To make the world better by starting right here in the USA. Yeah, that's why I voted for Bush, PURE SELF INTEREST. I like my Freedom, and I like being on top of the charts when it comes to things like money, shelter, security, cool gadgets, new toys and free time. I'm glad that I don't live a subsistence "lifestyle" in some third world country.

I'm glad that I have the time to expound about what I like or don't like about my country, my fellow citizens or the world in general. I'm glad that I don't have to go out and stand in lines to get my basic food needs met, only to have that food hoarded by a bunch of thugs with guns.

I'm glad that I drive a SUV, and I'm not upset about the price of gas. I'm glad that I get to have my MTV, FOXNEWS, CSPAN, HBO, History Channel, Nickelodeon and PBS. I'm glad that we're fighting over there, rather than in our grade schools and supermarkets. I'm quite comfortable with my life; I'd like it to be better, and it does get better every day.

I think "W - The President", has done a damn good job in a difficult time for this nation, and I want him to have a full term where he's not bound by the electoral politics that hinder real progress.

So I'm moving on and looking at the world with a sharper focus now.

More soon. . .
