Democracy

"I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A."
-Leonard Cohen, "Democracy," The Future



I believe that is an accurate description of me. I like to consider myself as a centrist, but some things are just too fucking stupid to look at and not notice something inherently wrong with it. It seems that everything is going wrong in this country: the war, foreign relations, health care policies, social security, out-sourcing, illegal immigration, so on and so forth. Perhaps the Dems will fix things come January. Or maybe they'll screw it up, and the GOP will have a big "told ya so" moment. That would be humorous. What if Mr. Bushy Bush actually knows what he's talking about?

What a scary thought.

We'll see in January.

Plus, my birthday is in January.

Donate something to charity for my birthday.

Or say a howdy do.

I'd like that.
