Gloating is One Thing, But....

Dieboldville OH 33° 33' North; 45° 78' West


.....Suggesting that yesterday's result affirms the right of BushCo to repudiate everything they have botched, mostly on purpose, during the last four years is quite another.

Because no matter what the smug pundits, including some pretty sharp boys in Canada, have to say, Planet Rove is still a place.....

1) Where no healthcare is great healthcare....

2) Where mounting Stop Loss Orders do not signal a back door draft.

3) Where instituting draft boards and forced high school registrations for special service do not signal preparations for a real draft.

4) Where sending ill-equipped troops into harms way for no good reason at all is supporting the troops.

5) Where a war hero is a war coward.

6) Where a war coward is not a coward because of midnight kerning.

7) Where anti-science is the best science.

8) Where global warming is actually an ingenious Madison Avenue ad campaign for air conditioners.

9) Where puppet regimes are democracies.

10) Where $50 dollar barrels of oil are really $25 dollar barrels of oil because the extra $25 dollars are actually going to Halliburton and KBR, which is good for the economy.

11) Where outsourcing is good for you, especially if you've lost your job because now you're an entrepeneur.

12) Where burger flipping is really high-tech manufacturing.

13) Where morality is the 4 G's....Guns, Gays, Grizzlies and God

14) Where no child left behind means that dumb kids are expelled so they won't be counted.

15) Where affirmative action means that only dumb rich kids get a free pass to Yale and Harvard.

16) Where deficits don't matter because Reagan proved it.

17) Where love is hate.

18) Where family values means putting leashes on your kids.

19) Where fraternity hazing is torture.

20) Where torture is not torture as long as you've written yourself a memo saying torture is not torture.

21) Where human rights are wrongs.

22) Where the Hague is Hades.

23) Where 100,000 deaths don't count, because dead people are free.

24) Where forced loyalty oaths are termed freedom of expression.

25) Where crypto-fascism is no longer cryptic

26) Where lying is just another word for rhetorical asymmetry.

27) Where really, really lying is really the truth.

28) Where the truth is irrelevant as long as you win.

29) Where a man who strangles you in the bathtub is your friend and hero.

Oh, and one more thing....as our guitar player from Coquitlam makes clear, it is no longer possible to pin the 'Wheres' listed above on the Rovians and the Gloating Repudiators alone, because those Wheres are now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the 50 million plus Americans who punched their ballots red yesterday.

All of them.
