It's 45 days later and I'm still upset with the election and the direction of the country. Part of me needs a 12 Step program to get past my political addiction. Another part wants to hit the bottle...hard.

I am powerless to stop the conservative tide. The only way to restore my sanity is to give in to a higher power. Karl Rove, you are my master.

I turn control of my life to you and put faith in your ability to determine the best path for me, the country and the world.

I now realize that my desire to make the world a better place was just a big lie. If I look deep inside myself I know that raping the environment; trodding on the poor and disadvantaged; great big tax cuts; destroying social security; favoring evangelical christianity over all others; invading Iraq under false pretenses while ignoring the real threats of Al Qaeda, North Korea and Iran; silencing political dissent and wrapping yourself in the flag is the best way to lead the free world.

Enough.
