OK, I admit. I'm a liberal Democrat tree-hugging pinko etc. etc. etc...

But I've come to look forward to Our Eventual American President, GWB.

Why? Well, I've got reasons...

1) Late night comics will have TONS of new material (just think back to GB's "subliminable (sic) advertising" speech...), possibly even more amusing than the last 5 years of cigar jokes.

2) America NEEDS a recession, and Republican administrations seem to breed them. What is the track record so far? Every administration since 1916 or somesuch? In any case... a recession will help trim back the .com excesses and get the market forces back into reality.

3) 4 years of GWB, Republican will very likely equal 8 years of unnamed democrat following, as well as a Democrat House and Senate. This may not be a GOOD idea, but it could be interesting, at least.

And finally...

4) A new musical youth movement! Think about it... Nixon and kin spawned the folk revival and the attendant movements. Reagan presided over the explosion of American political punk rock. Bush presided over the raw discontent of rap. What did we get from Democrats? Disco (Carter), electronica, faux swing and Limp Bizkit (Clinton)? Bring on the conservatives! We need a real enemy to inspire a new music! Personally, I'm really hoping for a rebirth of traditional folk. With groups like the Young Dubliners, Great Big Sea and a host of other bands... it's a hope...

Anyway, no real point to this I guess. Just raving...
