Tales of a Shrink

I did not post yesterday, because I was deathly ill. I'm feeling better now. Although, today's inaugeration may make me sick all over again.

Speaking of which, have you seen the petition to remove Rumsfeld? (In case you are too lazy to click the link, that is the Official John Kerry website that is hosting the petition.) Has the Democratic Party been reduced to circulating E-mail petitions? E-mail and on-line petitions usually have all the political clout of a rotting turnip. There are so many of the damn things, there are now websites that will host your on-line petition (including this petition to declare Yoda a god). This is really sad, people.

Anyway. I could be all melodramatic, and talk about this being a dark day for the US and the world. I could post clever little links making fun of That Man. But I always say, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"

So I'd like to announce my flip to the Right-Wing side of the spectrum. From now on I will support the teaching of Creationism in schools, because I don't really understand evolution. And, I will oppose stem-cell research, because God hates it when we cure the sick. I oppose all same-sex unions from now on, except those that are created by the wealthy children of the elite, because they should be entitled to protections and benefits that are not afforded to everyday Americans. I think that everyone should pay the same percentage in taxes, because Jesus said, "The poor are always with us," and far be it from me to support policies that would make Jesus a liar.

And, I am going to buy a yellow ribbon magnet for the back of my ~~car~~ Hummer. I believe that democracy is the greatest form of government in the world, because it is an expression of the Will of the People. Except for when it isn't, and in those cases it is our job to go in and make them want democracy, using bombs if necessary.

Oh, and finally: More blood for oil! I feel like dancing!
