Unexpected Breathtaking Happiness

Three words you probably never thought you would hear coming from me. There it is regardless, every letter of it true and heartfelt.

The dems have claimed the house and senate, restoring a long forgotten checks and balances of the 3 branches of government. Namely, the executive branch, which will no longer have the capacity to assault the American people signing away our lives in the middle of the night. Yay! The world community joins us in celebration, as we can once again dare to hope. Hope... what a strange and fascinating emotion. Its so refreshing. For so long I have been filled with sorrow, hate, and hopelessness as the Republicans ran a rampant psychotic agenda to drive us all into the ground. I'm not alone in this optimism. Democrats will find their strength and challenge the atrocities that have taken place in the last decade. We are prepared to face the devastation, because now we know it can be repaired.

My reaction to the overwhelming good news post election day were to first run to the restroom and cry joyously, then spread the excitement to everyone around me. This was before Donald Ayatollah Rumsfeld resigned! Imagine my glee when checking on the very tight race for senate control only to fin the smirking chimp gasping for air through stutters and excuses.

It was quite unexpected for most of us, but most likely planned by the Bush cabinet. Its a strong game plan- obviously Rummy will be seen as the orchestrator of the devastation in Iraq. Just what the Repubs need- a scapegoat. He made it easy with the torturing with no conscience bit. He went so far as to excuse the atrocities at Abu Ghraib and even defended water boarding as a 'humane' interrogation technique. He should have been charged with crimes against humanity, while his boss was impeached and charged for the same crimes. I'll be patient, because George's day will come. Just as Rummy's did.

There is plenty of time to speak of voting fraud, the complexities of pulling out of Iraq, the fact we still have a retarded movie star as a governor, and the tragic failure of proposition 87. Right now, this moment, we rejoice and make plans for the future no longer afraid of a fascist state.

What a fucking relief.
