On Saturday, riding the train home from Mitsu and Sue's loft event with Margaret, I said, "I can't even imagine waking up the day after the election in November, and looking at four more years of Bush. How will we even get out of bed on that day?"
Margaret reminded me that Bush didn't actually win the first time. Thus, we may be in better shape than we think in terms of electing a different president this year. This cheers me up, and it's worth remembering.
Recent cracks in the unified stone facade of the Administration are also terribly uplifting. While Bush tries (in his self-satisfied way) to excuse patently incorrect intelligence about WMD in Iraq--this is the information that he used to justify the whole invasion, remember--Dick Cheney refuses to back down.
Meanwhile, I am thrilled to say that I'll be doing something direct to help remove these criminals from power. I will be writing freelance for BushGreenwatch, a great web site that tracks this admistration's all-out assault on our environment and public health. Read it, subscribe to it, forward it to your friends (and senators, and congresspeople).
When my first assignment goes live, you can bet I'll post a link here!
