Well.
I guess it's official...a slight majority of people in this country are clearly suffering from a collective form of Stockholm Syndrome. How else to explain why one of the worst administrations in the country's history was reelected?  I think this quote from The Onion (written after the "election" of 2000) best sums up my feelings today: "They say in a democracy, people get the government they deserve, but I don't recall knife-raping any retarded nuns lately."

Off to cry now.  Summer lovin'...  happened so fast....  *Sob*

*hands you a tissue* I'm so sad for you and for us, since this decision will affect other countries as well as yours. My friend Xionin just compared this to a woman that refuses to leave her abusive husband, no matter how much he cheats, steals, hits her, she keeps coming back for more. I'm so disappointed right now, so I'll cry with you.

*hugs*

I don't know enough really about US politics to have an opinion on anything other than how it affects us here in the UK. However, I do feel for you. I went to bed last night hoping that I'd hear Kerry had won, so that probably jinxed it. Sorry, love.

You did your bit. Grin and bear it, and the next 4 years will fly by.

Politicians are like diapers. They should both be changed frequently and for the same reason.

Man, i was losing my mind yesterday, as evidenced by the Lubed fic. (Thanks, btw)

Is your 13 year old too big for a bar of soap in the mouth? My folks did that to me when I was about her age.

Worked until I came of age....

I can't believe it...it goes to show that a campaign run on fear mongering and lies will win. I know so many intelligent people who say, "Bush is the only one who can save this country."

Huh?

If you call leading it into war for the wrong reasons, craping on the economy, and being ignorant of politics in other countries.

Time to learn Korean. Or hope Canada gets pissed off enough to send our 4 guys down there...*g* Well shall be Canadus! You will all learn to say "eh"!

I don't want to hear my parents gloat either.

My dad called first thing this morning and I sat in my robe, frowning, refusing the answer it. Heard the message and he was trying to see if he could buy me lunch.

I'm still skeptical... How my dad (from a Utah town of 400) can understand that gay is not a choice and support them, but think the things he does about race and women's issues... Boggles the mind. Of course, he probably thinks he is in the top 1% earners in the country and that's why Bush's tax cuts work for him.

*scratches head, rummages through left-over Hallowe'en candy*

Stockholm Syndrome? Nope, Dumbass Syndrome. I mean WTF22!!1! I am highly displeased. Electoral College can suck my beautiful, gorgeous, breathtaking, metaphoric dick.

51% of the people in this country confuse and scare me. A few weeks ago I was talking to a guy I was assigned to do a computer science project with, usually seems like the nicest guy you could meet, must be reasonably intelligent to get through that major. A couple of people were talking about Iraq, and he calmly stated that he thought we should just bomb the hell out of the country to bring the war to an end.

Does it make me shallow that icons cheer me up a little? Stewie! Trogdor the Burninator!

I am living on mini Snickers bars and edamame. It's not so much a balanced diet as a wildly bipolar one.

Stockholm Syndrome. That explains A LOT.

Hey, this has nothing to do with the above comment -- just wanted to say, did you see the preview for next week's Lost? Yow! I can't wait!

The gods hate us. This is a joke. Or maybe it's a nightmare and we'll wake up soon. Please?

On the upside, at least it's only four more years and he can't run again.
