At the time I adopted this user name, I was getting out in front of myself. Barring a Hail Mary, it looks like I may have been regrettably correct.

Things are about to get bad for me, the country, and the whole world. Stupid people chose a stupid path for stupid reasons. Today is the first day of the rest of my life, a life that will almost certainly be far more difficult as time passes.

I'll go ahead and say what I've been holding back. At a victory celebration in Nov 2008, I was held back from the joy others were sharing by the strong nagging feeling that "this won't end well". And finally, we're there.

Was it a roaring success at voter suppression? A really good job at corrupting the count? The bomb threats? All the above? Having a really hard time believing that apathy accounts for 18M.

I'll just say this, then STFU. Maybe. Probably 50 reasons for the outcome. A big one was the (actually healthy) economy. It wasn't the economy, it was prices (inflation being tamed). We got hosed by corporate price fixing. Lotsa $ and got a new R prez. Win-win for them. ATHTRIO.

Commercialization continues. There was a time that the Wonders exhibits (Ramses, Etruscans, Titanic, etc.) were run by the city and shown at the convention center or the pyramid. My heart jumped for a minute when I saw the Vesuvius announcement. Nah. It's Graceland.
