Election is OVER

I must say I am pleased with the national results. Not only will we keep our president, we will also keep him free and clear of any legal mumbo jumbo. Thank GOD Kerry didn't feel the need to contest any state. Unfortunately there is about 48% of America out there that is pissed, sad or fearful for our country now that Bush has been confirmed for another 4 years. To those of you I say, it might suck from your point of view, but the best you can do is join the other 51% or lobby your congressman (at least that's what the persuase speech would tell you to do in debate.) We can hem and haw over the idiocies of the past four years - or we can look to the future. Give this man some credit and let him do the job that over half of America thinks he can do, has done, and will continue to do. I am not one for a political soap box so on the matter of the President, I am done.

On to the local... What the heck is with the Write-In winning??? Donna Frye -or Mickey Mouse- our Mayor. Interesting... Yep that's all I got there. Interesting. My favorite was that our Good Ol' Mayor thought it would be a good idea to give a "congratulatory me" speech - when the polls sat at 33%, 33%, 33%... guess he didn't want the speech to go to waste and that might have been the last time to use it. :)

Thanks to Britton for watching the polls come in till the wee hours over the WWW. It was pleasant even if his Independent views kept honing in on all the excitement. Er or something :) Go Nader!

One final thought on all of the elections: Prop 66. WHY WHY WHY? Working in the legal community and being immersed in it for the last three years I have to say that although the general principle behind this proposition was well founded. The wording of what has passed is a serious and detrimental blow to the legal system and the safety of our state. I agree that Three Strikes should have been changed, but not this way.

Ok that is all... no mas on the elections :) Just coy smiles here and there--
