You know, I could have afforded to vote for Bush, but I didn't buy quite enough Microsoft in 1981. I was (until last night) beginning to think I could get a different job in the technology sector, but not now. I guess I'm stuck in government for four years (at least) until the US is good enough for tech firms to operate here.
I have continued drinking since the meeting today was over. Let's not make the next four miserable years miserable; let's plan Scott's presidential track and make it happen. Send me a bumper sticker already!
So much for that theory about high voter turnout leaning left. Why did you people complain so much about one man and then vote him in again?
At least I already have a job. I hate it for every college student now.
I hope there is a chance that the president was only a muppet for the first term, and everyone to benefit from it got what they wanted. I hope now that he will be a leader as he says he will, except for the Christian conservative in him. I sincerely hope that we get more jobs in the U.S. and we can feel more secure in the coming years. I hope that the killing and senseless dying will cease around the world, whether Bush has anything to do with it or not.
I wish for the leaders of this country to come together without partisanship and make a difference in our lives, which is what I tried to do with my vote yesterday. I wish the best for this country, as I do with all other nations on Earth, and all walks of life in this time of our existence.
We should all take a million steps away and look at the world as a whole. That way we won't see just the blue and red on the 50 states, we'll see that the whole world is brown, green, and blue. We all live on the same planet, which is getting smaller and smaller every year. We will soon have to deal with global issues daily, not just issues which concern our country or our continent.
Let's hope that George W. Bush can play fair in this small playground. Let him not throw sand in the other kids' eyes or show off on the monkey bars. Osama bin Laden may get expelled, but if the rest of us hold hands and stick together, this small dot in time's line won't be so bad for the human race. Besides, what are we put on Earth to do anyway?

I know what you mean, if only I had bought that AT&T stock when I was in 1st grade.
When they talked about high voter turnout favoring us, I think they failed to include the Christian Right and their desire to keep committed same-sex couples from havign legal rights. If Ohio didn't have that amendment proposal on the ballot, I think that Kerry wins.
I don't know what I expect from the next 4 years. I don't expect Bush to be much different than he was, but maybe we can get a scandal going for him in his second administration. That is when Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton got in trouble. Perhaps their secret energy meeting sheets will be leaked and Cheney got a blow job from some Haliburton exec to say that pollution gets a bad rap.
I hope they see that we are not alone in the world, but they are leading us to being isolated from it. Empires collapse not becasue of gay marriage, but because of arrogance and overreaching. Sound familiar?
I thought we had it won. I thought that Americans could see through the curtain and see that the Wizard of Washington was just a little man pulling levers and sounding strong. I was wrong. Like Kerry, I guess I forgot about the polls.
