Let me paint you  a picture.   It is November 7th, 2000.  I am in Switzerland in my apartment watching one of the only two English TV channels available, International CNN, the other was BBC News.  Technically it was November 8th as it was around 2 AM, but who’s splitting pubic hairs?  Switzerland (or at least the area I was in) is 6 hours ahead of the US Eastern time-zone so it was around 10PM Eastern in the US.  Some frilly music and a full screen graphic fade onto the screen after a commercial of a naked broad enticing young German’s to call their “party line” completes.  The graphic says something like “Gore will be the 43rd US President”.   Sigh.  Ok, I can go to sleep now, at least we didn’t elect that ass-bag Bush Jr.   I wake up in the morning, scratch my balls a little, flip on the TV and another graphic is fading up with even worse music.  This one says “Bush will be the 43rd US President”.  WTF?  I get to work and the Swiss-German guys are all shaking their heads and taking turns walking into the American shared office, laughing, and saying “you Americans are so fucking stupid to elect that idiot”.  So today is bittersweet.  Finally an end to the epically worst Presidential run our nation will ever see, and a beginning of what?  Dunno, neither of the guys that will probably win will be able to do anything but clean up shit for the next 4 years.  We should change the title from President to Janitor or Jis-mopper.  Anyway, I’ll be watching the tube again tonight, this time in Georgia, just waiting for the MSM to fuck it up again.
