As we look forward to a Democrat in the White House, and the end of BushCo, let’s rejoice in the anticipation of the simple joys …
State of the Union addresses that don’t boil down to “As a nation, let’s face facts – thanks to me, we’re completely fucked”.
Monday headlines that don’t say “President Begins Another Week-Long Vacation.”
A plan to keep the country safe that has more substance than duct-tape and plastic sheeting.
Covert CIA agents able to do their jobs without fear of being outed for revenge against their spouses.
A president with an IQ and an approval rating over 30.
No more gone missin’ emails, videotapes, documents, WH visitor logs, correspondence files, and/or photos with Jack Abramoff.
No more billions of taxpayers’ dollars simply gone missin’ in the fog of war.
A VP who doesn’t shoot his friends in the face.
A VP who doesn’t have to hide out in an undisclosed location while having his batteries recharged.
An Attorney General who has a fully-functioning memory.
A Secretary of State who doesn’t think a memo entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US” is too vague to be given any credence.
No more plastic turkeys for the troops on Thanksgiving.
No more turkeys running on-the-ground military operations anywhere.
No need to cringe with embarrassment when the president opens his mouth.
No more wondering what that humiliating clown is going to get up to at the next international meeting.
Photo-ops of the president that don’t display the bruises from his last fallin’-down drunk incident.
Photo-ops of the president arriving in foreign capitals without being greeted by burning effigies of himself.
No more non-sensical speeches about animal-human hybrids.
A President who speaks English – fluently!
A president who can put two words together – and doesn’t mispronounce either of them.
A president who knows the names of international leaders without having them written out, phonetically, on a cheat-sheet.
Administration advisors that don’t have a "PNAC - Asshole" designation after their names.
An Administration that doesn’t have to hide behind the words ‘executive privilege’ or ‘national security interests’ every time they’re asked a question.
No more Scottie, Dana, Ari or Tony spewing absolute shit – and getting paid the big bucks for haulin’ it.
Horseshow Coordinator will no longer be considered a requisite for being appointed to head-up operations like FEMA.
No more US cities left to drown while guitar playin’ and shoe shopping take precedence over the survival of citizens.
A president who doesn’t claim to be a God-lovin’ Christian while approving the use of torture.
And the BIG ONE …
A DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT, by the People, of the People, and for the People – instead of by the SCOTUS and of Diebold.
(PLEASE add your own thoughts to this list …)
