Should I get all frothed up about the recount?

[Jackpine Radical]

Should I let Lucy hold the ball for me one more time while I try to kick it?

Here's the way it is for me. I waited anxiously for the press recount of Bush-Gore in 2001. DRIP DRIP DRIP. Remember?

Bush sinking in the polls as his policies tanked. Drip, drip.

9-11--Bush riding high--but the Bin Laden connection starts surfacing. Drip, drip.

Brisard & Dasquie: Forbidden Truth: U.S.-Taliban Secret Oil Diplomacy, Saudi Arabia and the Failed Search for bin Laden. DRIP DRIP DRIP. Remember?

No WMD. Drip, drip.

Etc. etc. Drip, drip.

The rise of Dean. The rise of Kerry. The BIG MO.

As we say in jackpine country, yah, sure.

The election has been called for Bush.

But wait--maybe a recount will take Ohio away from him. Maybe even Florida.

Yah, sure, Lucy.

At last I figured out what all that Drip Drip business was about. It was my adrenal glands pumping norepinephrine into my blood stream.

Well, I ain't got any norepinephrine or cortisol left. My adrenal glands are all shriveled up from fatigue.

Anybody that wants to ride in this one last, forlorn horserace is gonna have to do it without me. I just don't have one more ride in me.

1. Well, I'm sort of a coward today too.

Hiding out on DU instead of watching C-SPAN because I'm so damn scared that I'm putting too much hope in this Madsen-Curtis-Feeney thing.

2. Lucy is holding the ball but Im not going to run at it anymore.

Ill sidle up carefully and take a kick at it but "carefully" is the operative word.

Just a thread of hope, just a thread. Im from Florida, I watched this whole corrupt game play out before.

3. I think you'll have more success if you take Lucy down, take the

ball and drop kick it.

4. Oh, what the Hell. Out of my way...

I am gonna kick the everlovin bejayzus out of that ball right now.

Here I come......

Arrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhh !

5. we need a fake field goal, jackpine,

I'm right there with you.

6. Nevertheless, despite my firmest resolve to the contrary,

I can't keep my goddam eyeballs off Pitt's Truthout commentary. Must be hitting the refresh butten every 3 minutes.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Loooocy, wheere are you?
