Well, today's the last day of the Bush Administration. In order to avoid too much negativity, I won't go into any long-winded diatribes. (It's just too tiring to recount all the crap that has been visited upon We, the American People since January 20th, 2001.) However, I will say that George better hope God is merciful. History won't be. No amount of self-delusion will change that.
I won't lie...I am taking some definite Schadenfreude in this transfer of power. I want to be in the heads of all the conservative pundits, journalists, shock jocks, et. al. that are unhappy with the new administration coming into power tomorrow morning. How must it feel now that their hands are off the levers of power? Sure, the pendulum could swing back...but for now, I wanna know if they're gonna all wear black tomorrow.
In the finale of Avenue Q, the cast sings a bittersweet sentiment that so many joys and hardships in life are "only for now..." Towards the end, the lyric goes:
Only for now
Sex-- is only for now
Your hair-- is only for now
George Bush-- is only for now
That lyric has heightened meaning for us today, doesn't it?
