shock and awe

well look, i wasn't really all that concerned with what the results were actually going to be. i mean, he didn't win last time and that didn't stop him, right? but it truly is mind boggling! other than big business fat cats and abortionist-killers, who the hell would actually make a conscious decision to give him a job, and the president's one at that!?
weird.

but more intriguing yet is that.. well look, i'm no specialist in this shit, and i don't at all know how long it's been going on like this. but i do know that for sure 2 elections in a row have yielded very opposite, and very nearly tied results. what does that say of the great (supposedly) united nation of states?? do i smell civil unrest? impending civil war?? is that how this new rome will fall? it's a horrific idea, and yet perfect: how else is the world's most famously self-obsessed nation supposed to die!?

and do you think the world will mourn? hell no. they'll marvel, maybe. they'll discuss it in bistros. and they'll get over it, sucking on american marrow as they lemming their way to the beat of a new drummer.
stupid humans.

2 o'clock. the concession speech is happening as i type. i'm really not even that political, and yet i'm sitting here actually fighting off tears. fatigue and hormones are, i'm sure, playing their nefarious part but... man. this weighs heavy, so so heavy on my heart.
blech.

As a Canadian, you should be especially apprehensive. Acid rain was our most unwanted export to you guys up until now. Prepare yourselves for the "Liberal Vote Invasion".

I would join in the migration north, if I could just get up off this couch... but it is sooooo comfy right now. For us Americans with proper sensibilities, we have to ask ourselves which side of the crosshairs we would prefer to inhabit. Contrary to the pollsters, there is no moral ground left available for our loitering, so we must admit that only two sides to this target practice exist. No more policy decisions to be made. Balls are in motion. Fires started. Transgressions to deny in future history books.

I understand your tears, and mine are there two, if not in shadow. But at this moment, I feel compelled to simply retire to my couch until I feel the spark of a liberation fire return. Oooooohhhhh, so comfy mine couch shall be 'till then.
