You must remember, Old Guy, that the primary (and probably only) real reason for most of those Kerry supporters was a simply desperate feeling of urgency to get Mr Bush out of the White House...by any means possible. That was it. Period. Why would anyone but you be going on about Kerry now? :-) Why would anyone care?

Now do the therapeutic thing that we all do to ease our tension now and then. Go to the nearest window, open it, take a deep breath, and yell...

"I AM AN ARROGANT ASSHOLE!!!!"

...to the World in general. The last time I did this all the dogs in a radius of a mile or two starting barking and it went on for some time. I felt much better. Do it every time those intensely hostile partisan feelings come on, and you will soon forget all about John Kerry...like most of the rest of us have.

I mean, really, why would I want to vote for John Kerry...except to get rid of George Bush! I'd vote for Howard Stern if I thought it would get Bush out of the White House and back to Crawford, Texas, where he could do what he does best...barbecue.

Not that I'm suggesting Howard Stern might not turn out to be just as bad as GW in the long run, but at least it's might, rather than absolutely WILL.
