All human history, and just about everything else as well, consists of a never-ending struggle against ignorance.

Great Day After

You mean to say it's done? You mean to say that GW Bush has left Washington and need not ever be heard from again? Are you saying that D. Cheney is gone, too, and so is his crooked scowl and his face twisted with evil intent? Are you saying that the C. Rice harpy has been knocked off her perch, and will never again be able to declare anything about foreign affairs or anything else that anyone will be obliged to hear? And are you also saying that Karl Rove is a specter of the past, dumped deep down history's trash bin?.

Who among the ringleaders of that cabal that pulled the main levers of U.S. Government for so long a time with such bad effect have I left out? Oh, well -- and I mean it is well. But can it really be? Is it true that the American political system actually worked and now that bunch is out of there, lock, stock, and barrel? Though for how long before they swoop back in from behind the gravestones of their victims and in different guises, maybe on Halloween -- that can't be known. But these first hours of their dispersal are already beautiful enough.

I didn't think those monsters would stand for this. I even thought, as I heard speculated upon quite often, that they might stage some sort of national emergency, and they would claim the authority to stay in power so as to deal with it, for years more if they could have worked it so.

But it's obvious what happened. You could tell from their relative silence as yesterday approached. They had run completely out of ideas...even one as terrible as rigging up a way to stay on.

But we can say that they never had any real ideas to start with, and, seeing in 2000 that by crook they had actually been allowed to replace B. Clinton, they faked things all the rest of the way, using as their only compass direction going south whenever Clinton would've headed north.

They must never have had to solve computer troubles. In working on apparently hopeless problems on computers, I've found that you're never lost as long as you have ideas.

I've heard that B. Obama has a couple of ideas. Let's see what he does with them, and whether he can come up with a lot more.
