About to Call it a Night

Regardless of what morning brings, and who will be sworn in as President come this January, congratulations to the winner and - even though I shall continue to agree or disagree with specific positions as I see fit - I promise not to be a whiny dick like so many on the left have been since 2000, or how many on the right were during the Clinton years.

Bush, Kerry, whomever* - one of you is going to be the President of the United States. I hope you do the office its due honor, and sustain America as the sole world superpower, fulfilling the obligations which that entails.

Now, a brief message for those of you who, regardless of your party, say you will refuse to acknowledge the winner as your President:

Get. The. Fuck. Over. It.

You have effectively said you have voted with no respect for the voting process, which makes you either an idiot or a force against democracy and the voice of the American people. Neither one is something of which to be proud.

Bush is NOT Hitler. Kerry is NOT an evil traitor. Those who have stooped to such name-calling are encouraged to re-evaluate their grip on reality and, perhaps, decide to play a meaningful role in the process of American democracy in the future, rather than being goddamn fucking raving loons who should be locked up and drugged.

So, to the winner (looking like Bush right now, according to NBC), I wish you well and may you always take our country's best interests to heart.

Oh, and kick some terrorist ass.

* But not Nader. No, no, not Nader. Lord help us all were that to happen.
