today is an important day in my life and in our country's history. i wish i had the words to express how i'm feeling right now, and how i felt just 30 minutes ago as i cast my ballot. it's quite possible that there may have been a tear or two. ahem. anyway, as i type this post, my words seem trite and cliche'd and it's kind of annoying me. so go read carole's post from earlier today. what she says in her post so much better than i ever could is exactly how i feel ... if i were as good a person as carole. heh.
in a few minutes, j and i are going to watch the returns come in and i'm going to think good thoughts. it's been a long eight years. let's not make it twelve.

day 200 -- is wednesday yet?
i'm smiling a little bit inside this morning because it looks like the democrats could be coming back .
2 new governors -- in virginia and new jersey. arnold's reforms got the no-go -- too bad so sad. even the fine folks in dover, pa threw out the republican whacko school board who wanted intelligent design to be discussed in science class. yay! and maine decided to keep their anti-discrimination law. yay maine.
then there's texas. texas voted for a constitutional ban on gay marriage. but what do you expect. they're the fine people who gave us George W. Bush.
yesterday morning in copley square i came across this exhibit called "Eyes Wide Open."
here are shoes representing the over 10,000 iraqis, mostly women and children, who have died.
however, seeing him on crutches further confirms in my mind that he was just pushed under a bus.
one down ....
tom delay indicted. it's a good thing.
war president courtesy of american leftist.
hmmm based on the number of comments i received from yesterday's post, my guess is that i'm the only one who thought the link was funny... oh well. the thing is ... i'm ok with that. I'M SECURE WITH BEING UNPOPULAR ... YES I AM!
in the meantime, i haven't really spoken seriously about my political feelings since the election because there are so many bloggers doing a much better job, most notably kerstin. and she is clearly much more popular than i am ;).
i clearly had underestimated the simplistic and closed minded stupidity of over half of the american people.
yes, stupidity.
