Fighting the good fight

Four more years of Dubya. Jeez, what a letdown. The guy is Alfred E. Newman, only unfunny.

Mr. Kerry, you did your best, fought the good fight, but it wasn't enough in the eyes of simpler-minded voters around the country. Chris Matthews of MSNBC said it best on the Today Show this morning: "People across Middle America and in the South tend to be believers, rather than analyzers. That's the way they voted. It all came back to the perceived 'moral values,' not the big issues of the day." And Graydon Carter, editor of Vanity Fair, told the BCC News later today that voters in the Bush states "voted with their Bible books instead of their pocketbooks."

Amen to that. God help us over the four years. If possible, let's just look the other way and pretend it didn't happen. Maybe he'll just go away.
