75 Good Things About Another Bush Administration

[dirtyduck]

SO YOU'RE A DISAPPOINTED, dejected, dispirited and demoralized Democrat whose candidate lost the election. Maybe you can't quite understand why high voter turnout and exit polls favoring John Kerry turned into a swift, “decisive” electoral victory for Bush. Maybe you read an article by some troublemaker (such as Greg Palast, “Kerry Won,” at www.commondreams.org/views04/1104-36.htm) implying that something's amiss in Ohio and the country's electoral system. Or you're just plain scared about what lies ahead in the second administration of George W. Bush. More tax cuts for the rich, a bigger deficit, more unemployment, more pillaging of the environment, more bloodshed in Iraq?


Like Bill Clinton, we feel your pain. But we also want to help you, the marginalized progressive, embrace the inevitable. The fix is in, the die is cast, so you might as well turn that frown upside down and make the best of it. To help you forget your troubles, the Free Times provides the following list of 75 GOOD THINGS to look forward to during the next four years. Enjoy!

1. Church and state will cease to be burdened by painful separation.

2. The rise of the Amish as a political demographic will result in pork-barrel subsidies, making quaintly charming, durable quilts affordable to the working poor, and resulting in a much higher grade of welfare cheese.

3. Fans of George Orwell will have a grand time playing “spot-the-veiled-reference” in the names of legislative initiatives (e.g. “Healthy Forests” and “Clear Skies” initiatives). Next: “No Voter Left Uncounted.”
