The Day After the Perfect Shitstorm ..

By grrlscientist on November 8, 2006.

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all Rethuglicans in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the 'thugs are gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been votin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the 'thugs are gone,
I can see all rethuglicans in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

-- lyrics blatantly bastardized from Johnny Nash

I dunno. All those pictured in the poster are still there (including Rummy, who belongs in that poster as much as anyone). The reigns of power might be slackened a tad, but they still hold on to them, for at least 2 more years. Then the new breed will run as 'I'm not Bush' Republicans and be right back into it as the right-wing base eats that stuff up. Unless the Dems get off their collective asses and actually come up with some coherant plan other than 'at least we ain't Republicans'. Should be interesting.

Mustafa - Excellent post. I say it's okay to do a happy dance today, but your post puts things in perspective.

At least we can do a little happy dance? NPR told me this morning that Bush plans to push through changes in the next 2 years as if nothing had happened. Sigh.

Well, we'll always have Russ Feingold (vote on first 'Patriot' act: 99 for, Feingold against). If only there were more like him.
