Wallow In Chaos, And Laugh

This is all The Average Man can think of to do today. You can too @

I am outraged that so many of us are so incredibly misinformed, and, well, *stupid*, to re-elect a group of people who have done such an immense amount of greedy, no-good harm to our wonderful country. I am outraged that they likely manipulated electronic voting machines in crucial states that use them like Florida and Ohio, where the results are vastly different from any of the polls leading up to and on election day. And I am outraged that John Kerry, who millions of us put our faith in to fight the good fight to the bitter end, is about to concede this election, and not go to the mat to make sure every vote is counted first. It's an insult to everyone who stood in line for hours in Ohio, in the rain, late at night, and did their part to elect him.

However, I am also heartened that, in just two years, we who think for ourselves managed to turn a virtual re-election lock for Bush into a dead heat. I am heartened that we exposed this War On Iraq for the profit and power-driven fraud that it is. I am heartened that we dealt a big blow to unchecked media power by making Sinclair back down on broadcasting anti-Kerry propoganda without equal time for the opposite side.

And I know that we who fight the good fight for peace, justice and equality have become united, and organized, and will continue to spread the truth, and work towards making our country into the kind of place we thought it was when we first learned about it in history books.

Or as the always incredible Tbogg put it:

"I look at the big map and all of the red in flyover country and I feel like I've been locked in a room with the slow learners. We have become the country that pulls a dry cleaning bag over its head to play astronaut."

Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging, John. We need you.
