I am still here, loyal readers. I have had a dramatic change of schedule with this new job of mine. The last week I have been busy prepping the site for the big going live event Monday. Furthermore, I’m still mourning black Tuesday, as Drudge gleefully pronounced "DEMS DEPRESSED" as his top headline today. No shit buddy. There is good reason to be depressed about another four years of these stinking elephants.

I have tried my hardest to spin this election loss into something positive, without much luck. The best I can come up with is that Bush now is responsible for cleaning up the mess he made in the Middle East. There is no way he can blame Clinton on insurgency in Iraq, Iran’s continual development of nuclear arms, Afghanistan’s slow spiral back to a feudal, terrorist-breading nation, and Israel and Palestine now with the death -- at least defacto death -- of Arafat.

There will be nobody to blame but Bush for turning the Supreme Court to the right for the next twenty to thirty years. He’ll shoulder the blame for making America more fiscally irresponsible than it was in the Regan years. He will get credit for finishing that Star Wars, that project was so beloved of his dad’s predecessor. There are so many other things, I could mention, but I should stop before I get too red in the face.

Anything that I believe in, Bush does the exact opposite. Now we are slated for four more years of this. Is it really news that any Democrat worth his salt is depressed?
