Election 06 is History

I did get to the polling place yesterday morning and Voted, and since the results started coming in last night I have been in bed sucking my thumb in unstoppable grief. No! I took the news in a manly manner and assumed that in a democracy one group wins and one group loses--even though I am not happy. I Will Survive--Hey Hey!
The whole cyberspace world is loaded with people commenting on the election results, so there is probably no reason for me to spill out my internal rage at the way the American voters chose their leaders yesterday.
And then--Rummy quit! Words cannot express my thoughts on that historic disaster to the nation. So, I will go intellectual and ask all my fans and devotees to read many books on civilian-military relations through history, starting with the ways Stalin dealt with his Marshalls, and the whole history of Lincoln, Stanton, and the Civil War Generals, and then the way Polk and the Mexican War Generals got along with each other. I did not want Rummy to go away!
I looked at some European newspapers online to see how they are covering the US election, even though I do not read French and German very well. By the way Prison Break is a popular show on French TV, and Brittny Spears' divorce is being covered in Europe. And I once had to take so many classes on the glories of European culture.
I really am in a kind of grouchy mood tonight after the election. My Ma was wondering why I am being so crabby today. And I had to promise to get over it and not fall into the traits of a late uncle who was mad all the time about something or other for years.
This has actually been a wonderful Nov. day--with temps in the low 80s in the afternoon. So the shorts came out of the closet and got worn one more time. They were very happy, as were my legs.
I think this is going to be all for right now. I have vented my views on the events of today and yesterday, and if the Dems are now in Power that is our system of peoples' govt. We will see what they do. So, you take care. Di di mau!
