Dare to be stupid

Looks like we have another four years of Bush to look forward to. No, it's not guaranteed, but I don't have much hope at all. And even in the incredibly unlikely event that Kerry DOES win, it will be by a disturbingly narrow margin. How could so many people still support Bush? I mean, yes, I know and know of some Bush supporters, but they always seemed to be an annoyingly vocal minority. I guess that's just in my narrow little part of the world, though. Actually, it looks like the entire Northeast DID vote for Kerry. Anyone else in this area for secession? We can take the Pacific Northwest, too. It'll be a country with another country in the middle, sort of like East and West Pakistan, back before one of them (I forget which one) decided to become Bangladesh.

The whole "Let's call this state for a candidate when only 30% of the vote is in!" thing that the TV networks are doing is pretty irritating, too. I mean, I don't think ANY of them agree (although, unfortunately, they all DO seem to agree that Bush has a definite lead). Oddly enough, Fox News is actually giving higher numbers for Kerry than MSNBC. So I don't really believe the news media at this point, but I DO believe that Bush is at least tied, if not in the lead, and that depresses me.

Oh, and they apparently haven't even counted my vote yet. I guess it doesn't matter much, at least presidentially speaking, since the guy I voted for seems to have a lock on Pennsylvania anyway, but it's still irritating.

Anyway, I'd better get to bed. I have to be up in less than six hours. I doubt anything will be settled by then.

provisional and absentee ballots won't be counted until at least thursday. maybe even another week or two. and given the narrow number seperating the votes in ohio, it could make a difference. sigh. and all the a-hole republican "nah nah nah nahnah! you liberals" comments i've been reading on fark, i cannot take... at this point, i hope kerry wins just to shut them up.

I have to wonder why absentee ballots had to be in by last Friday, if they weren't going to count them until so much later. It's like my vote doesn't even count for anything.

It would be nice if the absentee and provisional ballots would swing the vote over to Kerry, but I suspect this is just wishful thinking. While I know of a few people (including myself) who voted for Kerry on absentee ballots, I'll bet a lot of them are for Bush.

There are Republicans on FARK? From what I know of that site, it doesn't seem like it would be someting conservatives would dig. Because it strikes me that conservative "humor" is less along the lines of parody, and more along the lines of "Ha ha! Look at those stupid poor people dying!" Ugh, I hate Republicans.

Even if Kerry DOES end up winning, it looks like most of the seats in Congress have gone to Republicans, so he probably won't be able to do much of anything while in office.
