Crazy excited

When Bush "won" eight years ago, I knew it would be bad, but I had no idea how bad. War, torture, financial implosion, erosion of women's rights, domestic spying, Gitmo, Darth Cheney,WMD, mission accomplished, levees breaking, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. It was hard to recognize my country at times.

But now, I feel like we are on the cusp of something good. Something transformative; I'm proud of my country again. And I'm crazy excited for tomorrow.

EM!! The levees breaking were Bush's fault?!

Not to pop your bubble, but read this article when you get the chance. It's not a long one: http://news.scotsman.com/geraldwarner/Gerald-Warner-New-president-same.4887764.jp

Have a good day and be well!

No, I don't think the levees breaking were his fault, but the federal response was a nightmare.

Nothing can burst my bubble today! Bush is gone, Cheney is gone, and it is a new day.

Peace.

Over one month later I can say that I am still excited!

I know this is an old post, but Darth Cheney just cracked me up.
