Is someone going to post "Patience, Grasshopper..." or do we give
up, now? Is there more? I feel kind of depressed, or just a little more depressed than I have been since 2000.

2. I guess other people's expectations were way higher than mine
The MOST I expected was a debate on election fraud, and that's what we got. I thought that was a major victory--to get the Senate to object along with Conyers / Tubbs Jones.

It's like a lot of people here are parents watching their baby take a first step. Except they slap it silly for not running a marathon.

3. Look on the bright side
Four more years of opposition and dissent.

Always more fun than defending the State.

4. I guess it depends what you're waiting for.
Outsting bush before 2008? Not without a scandal bigger than Watergate, IMHO.

6. I was in Washington, DC, in November, after the so-called election.
I just couldn't get my mind around what had happened until I consciously realized how I felt: I was in my capital city under enemy occupation.
