Anger
To my wonderful readers who happened to vote the wrong way and are not suffering the graveness that the rest of us are experience: The five stages of grief are meant, on some level, to be humorous. As we all know, humor is a healthy and wonderful way of coping with a tragic loss. While my specific comments do not express how I feel at this moment, there are millions upon millions of Americans right now who are very, very angry—not only at the flawed democratic process, and at the deep war chests of the Republican party which served to further denigrate and undermine that very process, but also at those of you who voted to validate the president's existence.
You've been very, very naughty citizens, placing your “X” in the column for King George II. You deserve a spanking..
Stage 2: ANGER
We get angry. This anger can manifest itself in many ways. We can blame others for our loss. We can become easily agitated having emotional outbursts. We can even become angry with ourselves. Care must be taken here not to turn this anger inwards. Release of this anger is a far better way to cope with grief in my experience.
My neighbors (the ones who had the George Bush signs out) are smirking right now… they won't be smiling so well when they go outside in the morning and find dog poop on their lawns. Now I'm glad they put Bush signs out. Now I know whose door to aim for with the poop. One idiot family still has their sign out today. They're going to find that sign upside down in the poop. Enough about dog poop.
Al Qaida doesn't care who voted for Bush. They're not going to call up and say, “Lalilalilalila! How did you vote? Kerry? Okay, stay away from Federal Building on December 12. Praise Allah!” No…they're going to say, “Americans are warmongering Israel lovers like their president. Kill all of them! Lalilalilalala!” Are you happy, Bush-lovers?
Argh! It's my fault! If I hadn't supported Nader in 2000… No, I'm not taking the blame for this one! They know they did it, and they did it intentionally!
Start the revolution! Go out into the streets! Overturn cars! Torch buildings! Make it look like Ireland won the World Soccer Cup!!!

O.k.!!!
So you tell me??
What if a person such as myself doesn't like EITHER candidate for President? Then what? Just close your eyes and draw a straw? lol
I don't like Kerry for various reasons,and not too crazy about Bush and our "mini-Vietnam" we have going? So then what do you do? I guess just like Steve Winwood would say "Roll with It Baby"......lol
Your a pretty smart blogger....what else are you good at? (just curious)

Tammi, I think I told you I regretted "throwing away my vote" on Kerry because of the wide margin, I could have made my vote count on the Socialist candidate.
