Perhaps it may turn out a sang,
Perhaps turn out a sermon.

Short Night Leading to a Long Dark Night

The pollsters were right and I was wrong. I still rather hope I went to sleep and just woke up in the wrong country. Apparently we are now officially a fascist state, fed propaganda by the Democrat-controlled Ministry of Media -- formerly known as the Free Press. The MSM makes Pravada look fair and balanced.

Soros and Buffett have bought themselves a nice little superpower for a few hundred million.

I won't say I'm shocked -- sick, but not shocked. The last round of polls just did not show enough momentum coming into today. I would guess it came down the economy, and particularly to the mortgage crisis which was skillfully laid on Republicans by the media. I suppose they deserved it, since they went along with the bailout. Really how much more socialist could Obama be? -- OK, don't answer that.

I survived LBJ, Carter, and Clinton. Whether or not I survive Obama's attempt to turn us into a third world dystopia, I won't be anybody's serf.

I still have my Bible, and if they take that, I still have Jesus, bitter clinger that I am.

Goodnight, America. It's been nice knowing you.
