Thank You Very Much

Well, I guess we should thank them. These three men helped usher in the new Democrats. Without them, Dems wouldn't be running all three [sorry, just two - executive and legislative] branches of government (well, as of January 20, 2009). So thanks, fellas.


I'm still undecided, however, how to characterize them. Are they evil or just incredibly stupid? Or both. And I'm being serious. I would love to know if they were going about the destruction of the country (and parts of the world) thinking they were doing the right thing, but were simply too stupid. Or did they set out to help their friends (corporation, oil, etc.) and they just didn't care what the hell happened to the country or the world? I lean towards thinking that Iraq was all a ploy to drive up the price of oil to give Bush's oil buddies one last hurrah. Even these numbnuts know that oil is on a downward slide. Alternatives must (and certainly will) be found (I hope). So Bush did everything he could to make sure his buddies got their golden parachutes before the world heads away from an oil economy.

Now we have the Democrat Triumvirate [nope, no triumvirate, as noted earlier]. I honestly feel immensely relieved. But I'm also scared. Yes, Dems govern better than Republicans, but when you're the sole power, it's so easy to get full of yourselves. So to Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi, all I have to say is: Don't be jackasses. Do the right thing. Remember that the MAJORITY of this country is in the middle. We have the right-wing nuts and the left-wing wackos, but most of us are stuck in the middle. Don't be too liberal, or the House will be back in Republican hands by 2010 or 2012. As with most things in life, moderation is a good thing. Yes, we'll need bold immoderate leadership in the beginning to get us out of this hell that Bush put us in. But please, please, please remember where most of us live ... in the middle.
