The South has won

Time to get political:

Ever since the Civil War, the South has been jealous that the democratic ideals of the North have been the defining principals of this nation. Yesterday, in a midterm election, the South gained control of the Senate, retained control of the House, and still leaves Cowboy George in the White House. The country is theirs. Much like the routund Texan in various Simpsons episodes, I could imagine a wiley look on the faces of those in the Republican party as they danced in place and shot their guns into the air while screaming "Yeeeeehaaaaaw!".

I voted yesterday and will vote again at every chance I'm given. I'll vote early and I'll vote often because I want to have the right to complain when something doesn't go my way. The GOP shouldn't be so impressed with themselves -- voter turnout this midterm election was around 33%, not anything to brag about. How would the other 67% of Americans have voted had they decided to make it to the polls? Can we assume the outcome of these elections would be the same? These are questions I can't answer. The false popularity given to Cowboy Geedub by U.S. polls will soon give way to a popular uprising to oust our shameful leader. The more fights he picks the more his people will fight back.

Oh, and Cowboy Bush didn't win in 2000. Check the popular vote.
