Heavens, no.

The way he "spreads" freedom?

Oh, you really think so?

Since when did I make this happen? I don't believe that that my work on the Kerry/Edwards campaign made this happen. Maybe you can supply some names of programmers for Bush/Cheney that helped you achieve what you did. Will they be honored by name on 20 January 2005?

Ah yes, historic election, but not over yet and nothing to celebrate in the presidential race. Why not celebrate by donating to charity, as I have done?

> www.gop.com/Party.
> I look forward to sharing the celebration with you next week.

Find someone else (those Republican programmers maybe?) to celebrate with.

1. My Progressive
Meet up group is having an anti-inaugural party, Dean is supposed to call. I have been told that our group did the same thing in 2001 but that it was depressing. This year everyone is to angry to be depressed. :argh:

3. move on to what?
it's like someone telling you to hurry up and enter a burning building for a paper clip.
Move on, hurry up, move on. They want you to accept it. Acceptance is not acceptable when it comes to bushco. Not an option. Keep on "whining", it's also called resistance.
