I've been reading some of the rightie blogs and they are all bent out of shape because the Democrats are happy. Damn right I'm happy. Republicans thought that if they lost the world would end because Al Qaeda operatives would cut in line on the $2.99 lobster special at Bo's Chik'n Shak on route 80.
Democrats had different worries. You see, vocal opponents of authoritarian governments don't do too well personally. Generally they end up dead, or locked away in a place that nobody ever knows about. And that's a very real issues since Bush has 35,000 people locked away in his secret CIA prisons. And last week Cheney had a shredder truck outside of his offices. So it's possible that there are people locked away, or killed, that we will never know about.
So, yes, I am crying tears of joy and relief that there is some sanity returning to my government. There were days when I thought that I might get dragged away in the night from some of the things I said on this blog. And that Lori and Megan would be holding up a picture of me at some burnt out prison after the revolution wondering if they will ever be able to get my remains.
Now I think we have a chance to turn it around peacefully. To figure out what's going on with people who have been illegally detained, tortured and sometimes killed in this country and around the world.
