Comments on: Tragic Gaiety http://b.rox.com/2004/11/03/attitude/ Life in the Flood Zone Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:56:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: MF http://b.rox.com/2004/11/03/attitude/#comment-482 MF Thu, 04 Nov 2004 11:57:10 +0000 http://b.rox.com/archives/2004/11/03/attitude/#comment-482 I'm still really sad about this -- I was holding out until the last minute, refusing to believe that Bush had won. I'm a little confused, because while I was at the expat bar watching CNN, the commentator said there were so many absentee ballots in Florida they didn't think they would be able to count them all before Thursday, but then all of a sudden Florida went for Bush. Was the difference really so great? On a more comforting note, here's a comment from an e-mail Howard Dean sent to the Asian regional chairman of Democrats Abroad: >And a record number of us voted to change course -- more Americans voted against >George Bush than any sitting president in history. I guess that's something to be glad about, anyway. I’m still really sad about this — I was holding out until the last minute, refusing to believe that Bush had won.

I see B's post. I have the fist. But I don't think the smiles, however forced, will stick.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Those freaking exit polls got my hope up. I think I read somewhere that gaiety was unconstitutional in 11 more states. LA was first wasn't it? By the way, it is now a constitutional right in Louisiana that we can all fish, hunt and trap. I went to the peace day website and it said I should try to resist buying things. THe problem is I'm severely depressed and buying something would make me feel better. Would you rather I get all liquered up and exercise my constitutional right to shoot nutria and trap beavers?
