An account of volunteering in New Hampshire and another one from Ohio. A reminder of things we have to be grateful for, still. And Michael Moore's list of reasons not to slit our wrists just yet. Raed of Raed in the Middle says, "The victory of bush today, is a big defeat for anyone in the middle, like me." (though he was not impressed with Kerry either.) And Riverbend, in a post which made me laugh and cry at the same time, expresses her disappointment and rage quite well, and in verse, yet.
I'm thinking of offering up the idea of "Election Condolences" to Hallmark or Yahoo Greetings. The cards can have those silly little poems inside of them, like:
Condolences and heartfelt tears-
You get Bush for four more years!or
Sympathies in advance
For when they reinstate the draft!
We hope (insert_name_here) stays as safe as he/she can
And writes frequently while in Iran!or
Bush and Cheney- what a pair!
Who said life isn't fair?
While Iraq gets tanks and occupation-
You have idiots to run your nation!or
Cheer up...
Your son was too young for Afghanistan.
And it's still a bit early for Iran-
But there's plenty of time for Syria...
And he'll definitely serve in North Korea!I guess justice was too much to ask for.
