This week, just about nothing went right for me.
I was supposed to head to Chicago. That didn’t pan out.
New York was next on the list, and that, too, fell through.
Then I thought, maybe I’ll visit a few friends in Boston. Check out the job
scene.
Sounded like a great plan…until I was felled by some crazy viral infection –
a cross between a harrowing cold, influenza, and bronchitis. There wasn’t
much I could do during the sweats and chills, other than wait it out and
curse myself for being born.
A few nights, I woke with a piercing headache and sweat-soaked sheets, and
thought, “This must be what they mean by ‘death bed’.”
But, no matter how shitty my week went, it was like a month in the sun
compared to This Week in Republican History.
After 12 years in control, those elitist, ruling-class Fourth Reich
Republican sons of bitches are out of Congress, hopefully drawing the end of
the line for Neo-Conservatism strength in American Politics. As an added
bonus, President Bush “accepted Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation” the day after
the Democratic victory.
Muah ha ha! When it rains, it pours. Right Republicans?
I have no pity for you. Now you can enjoy a slice of what we Democrats eat
time and again.
Humble Pie.
I’m amazed the Republicans actually managed to lose so decisively. After
all, we Democrats weren’t running on any real platform. We could’ve
developed something on strengthening the country domestically and
diplomatically and ran on that, but we didn’t.
Why?
We really didn’t need to.
The heavy-handed, scandal-ridden 109th Republican Congress had been fucking
up far too long, and finally, the rest of the dopes in the US realized it.
About damned time.
This week, just about nothing went right for me.
