Post-Election Day, 2004

FUCK.

Post-Election Day, 2004: Pt II

Call me cynical and a conspiracy theorist (though after the 2000 debacle, can anyone blame me?) but I don't trust these results.  Not one little bit.    Perhaps I naively surrounded myself with Kerry supporters, but I simply don't see HOW Bush could have got the majority of the popular vote after all the malcontent and outcrying of protest against him I've seen in the past months.  This was everywhere I looked.   I was so sure it was in the bag, the possibility of defeat never remotely entered my mind.   I am highly suspicious but helpless.   I hope someone else does some hardcore investigation into this.   I also hope Bush will be caught in something so nefarious (either in the election process or in just plain, run-of-the-mill politics) that impeachment might be an option.     

This is about all I can offer in the way of a bright side.   That and the chance to say "I told you so" when he fucks up again.   And you KNOW he will fuck up again.  

Post-Election Day, 2004: Pt III

At this hour (2:30 pm Mountain time) AOL STILL has not updated its top headlines, and they are mocking me with promises that Ohio is still too close to call, and that Republicans are "convinced" (quotations AOL's) of win.   Gee, ya think?   I prefer to believe this is because the AOL updating staff is holding out for a late-breaking story, still hoping to snatch victory from the very jaws of defeat. That or they are just so inconsolable that they can't bring themselves to change it to a less hopeful story. However, it is very possible it is only because I haven't gone offline and back on since this morning.
