…or is that paw?
Random Thoughts That Fell Outta My Brain
I always love the last few weeks before a big election, even moreso now that I am merely an amused observer. These cycles where the Republicans are in decline are the most entertaining, since they combine exposure of GOP corruption/hypocrisy with their desperation to not lose power. The Repubs go nuts trying to draw the public’s attention away from their myriad fuckups, but that just makes the inevitable new fuckups shine brightly.
The Democrats are less interesting this time around, since they seem to have learned to shut the fuck up (John Kerry notwithstanding) and let the Repubs hold a foot shooting contest.
I must say though, that the real circus will start up the day after election day, when poll watchers and others start raising issues about any questionable results from electronic voting machines and vote tampering by GOP flunkies. That should really start up a shitstorm.
Of course, once the Dems take control (which is not 100% certain, because the American People are such easily confused sheep), the real fun will start. Let’s look at a short list.
1: Subpoena fest will begin! Might be wise to build a new prison or two.
2: The Fairness Doctrine will be smacked down on talk radio and Fox Network (and all other radio & tv). Make no mistake, the broadcasting Righties fear this above all else.
3: Oversight on Iraq will return. See Subpoena fest above.
4: Bush and his cronies will see Hell unleashed upon them. There may not be an impeachment, but they might wish there was.
5: The oil & energy companies will get investigated, regulated…maybe even emasculated
6: The Religious Right will no doubt get investigated
7: Our overworked and under supported troops will get reassigned out of Iraq.
Yeah, that’s all gonna be some fun to watch. Of course, if I were the Dems, I’d make full use of the tools the Repubs have set up:) I doubt they will, though, since they just don’t have the balls to pull off that much poetic justice.
But, whatever comes next week, the next couple of days are gonna be comedy gold. And I’ll be laughing long & loud.
You should join the fun by voting! (Consider that part of my get-out-the-vote and toss-the-bums-out efforts.)
After the Bush regime won/stole the election in 2004, I decided that the American people were too stupid & passive for me to join with on election days.
I thought your wife was a Green?
If you really want to stick it to the RepDems (and not just spoil your ballot), vote for your local Green Party candidate.

Indeed, Grace is a Green and will vote that way on Tuesday. Me, I’m happy to just sit the whole thing out.
