Election Night And A Bottle Of Blood
Well, the election is 'post' and now the government is in a state of unbelieveable upheaval. It's been a total reversal and the House and Senate are now in the control of the Democrats. The President is facing the prospect of answering for his criminal actions and his foreign policies.
Frankly, I can't find it within myself to celebrate yet. I am waiting, sipping this glass of rum that tastes like fresh ox urine and peering out the window. Outside I hear the local hispanic population having an impromptu fiesta. Is this the future of the American presidency? Bush has taken it and made it something like a kingship...a sick sadistic little monarchy supported by senators and ideologies which go entirely contrary to the desires of the masses. I am pleased at the result thus far but another part of me fears that in 2 years while the Democrats hold may not be quite so thorough nor so tight, the country will not have the grand indignation riding behind it any longer to push it further towards liberality. We will be recovering for 50 years from the damage already done, if recovery is possible.
