And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning to a
Light that's in the distance.

Turned my back on Bush yesterday, along with Bill Haverchuck, painbearer, and (all the way from California!) maurauder. I'll just say that it was an interesting day. And cold. A cold and interesting day. Oh, and that two blocks from being home, I stopped a guy from walking out in front of a car that was changing lanes in the intersection while running a red light (which is why the guy I stopped can't be blamed for not having seen the car coming). Maybe it'd also be worth mentioning that the dude standing beside me at the inauguration almost tried to go over the barrier when the cheering crowd made this not-so-normal gent a bit more than typically nervous. Okay, really now...that's enough of yesterday.
...well, okay, and I felt like our little clump of sanity, parked between some Republicans on our left (when our backs were turned) and the protesters in front of us, and the crazy, nervous-dude on my right...may well have been the last bastion of sanity in a world gone mad. (Mad! Mad I tell you!
)
Whether you know it or not, America is a nation at war with itself. Civil war #3 has begun. (#1: 1860's, #2: 1960's. #3 came half a century early.)
No really, no more. I'm done talking about it. Over it. I went home, had a super-hot and (as usual) long shower. Then I sat down with a glass of wine and watched an episode of West Wing (so to pretend there's a liberal in the White House). Then I went to bed for a very long time.
4 years down, 4 years to go. And my democrats need some better options...
