  • Dieu Bénit Amérique

    Well, I didn't vote.  I know, I know.  You don't care.  Well, I guess, neither do I.  Just didn't vote.  Maybe never again. 

    I read once that if a large amount of Americans don't vote (registered, I presume), a national referendum can be called to construct a new constitution.  Not a bad idea.

    Speaking of voting, what about the American public's punch in G.W.'s face?  Did you catch it?  They (the half of the half that register) made a broad, anti-war statement this time around.  Funny.  I didn't think it would happen.  But then, I guess folks do get sick and tired of "death counts," roadside bombing stories and tales of IEDs.  Too much is enough!

    Who knows how the story will go.  Our country's corrosive foundation is certain to implode and/or explode, but will I see it?  Probably not the really bad stuff; I'm only slated to live a few more years (according to one of those internet quizzes).  My nieces and nephews probably will.  I feel sorry for them.  Too much killing.  That, as history has taught us, never works out as a positive career move. 

    Finally, on this post election day, with the two deciding senate seats still undecided (people actually voted for Allen in VA?), I offer a passage from one of our great thinkers of things, the criminally minded Henry Kissinger.  "Blessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching but also without attempting to play God."  He was truly ahead of his time.

    Update: More Montana?  Whose afraid of Virginia Votes?  Rummy staggers and falls?  I'll keep my own eyes open Mr. President, thank you very much.  And by the way, what exactly do you mean by: "...I don't know how it has seeped into the American conscience that we should stay the course [in Iraq]..."?  Come on man!

    Update Redux: Bipartisan effort?  Who cares.  Nothing will change.  Nothing.  However, I still like what happened.  It gives that crooked cabal in the white house and pentagon an idea of what a few Americans are thinking.  Wasn't it nice to see that simple simian scramble at the press conference yesterday?  Nice indeed.
