Well, I just watched the psychopath's final whoop-dee-doo on MSNBC.com...

What a freaking monster. Spinning the tragedy of his presidency all the way out the door, isn't he?

Two of my favorite parts:

1. When he says, "When people live freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror".

2. "Yadda yadda great justices like Samuel Alito and John Roberts."

Numerous plugs for faith-based programs, (read: abstinence, anti-gay, etc). He's proud of all the "good" work they do.

Also, the whole thing seemed full of couched anti-choice statements. Was I the only one who caught that? "Moral people defend those who cannot defend themselves, innocents, etc." type stuff.

You know, it's seeing things like this that make me realize, as uncomfortable as I am with a few of the choices Obama's made so far, (Warren, etc.), the difference really is going to be night-and-day. We ought to be able to hold their feet to the fire over some of these decisions, but damn, what a incredible change it's going to be on the whole, isn't it?

I get to be off on Tuesday, mostly because I'm unemployed, (thanks Bush economy!), so I'll get to watch it on the idiot box from down here in Jesusland. I'm thinking at about 11:10am CT I'll be collapsed into a ball on the floor, rocking back-and-forth, saying, "Thank God it's finally over, thank God it's finally over", repeatedly for at least an hour.

1. I pressed the mute button on my TV....just like the last 8 years.

2. It will be

cathartic. We can weep for joy that we survived. I know two people who did not because of a lack of health care. I consider them both to be victims of the commander in crime's utter lack of compassion.

3. I remember back in 2001...

I thought, what could he possibly screw up before he's gone in four years? "I mean, look how much time he takes off", I'd say.

I remember reading that article at The Onion around that time. I laughed my butt off the first time I saw it.

It's been reposted here a few times this week. Seeing it made me want to cry.

Those two people you mention, along with countless others, are the victims. Those 100,000 or so Iraqis are as well.

George W. Bush literally raped us all.

4. I just loved your little summary!

You're looking at the OTeam with a glass half full:bounce:

Hope you find a good job real soon!
