Sour? I'm not sour.

I'm as resigned as the rest of the world to US politics as usual, but ever more optimistic at the prospect and honor of being able to vote for Nader one more time.

Or as U2 sez "nothing changes on New Years Day".

I'm cheerful as hell that we have crossed another threshold to the death of the Bush/Cheney junta.

We all know that even a President McCain will be better than the ruling junta.

And Amos, the very suggestion that voting Evil Republicrat As Usual is somehow doing "some small smidgen of good" is laughable.

Not even a little bit quaint, Amos. Laughable.

And BTW, I STILL don't take Obama seriously, if you are talking "agent of change".

He is the Wall Street candidate, pure and simple. He is no different than Clinton. No different than Clinton. No different than Clinton. He is just another corporate Democrat. You and the 18 million other voters who fell for the Wall Street bait and switch have been bamboozled.

And you will find out just how true that is IF he is elected president.

Which remains a damn big IF at this stage, which is why you are so obviously bitter and sour about your man's underwhelming draw of a win this morning.
