1. There's a lot of work ahead.
It's hardly even begun. Thirty years of predations have to be undone ... BEFORE any 'progress' can be made.

2. Speaking of Ford....
If he lives through the weekend, he becomes the longest-living president ever, surpassing even Reagan's longevity.

Of course, the fact that he never had to suffer through a national election probably added a few years to his life.

Don't mind me, I'm kind of a Presidential trivia nut.

3. It's like I'm slowly waking from it
God, I just can't sleep....I keep contrasting this in my head with '02 and '04....and how absolutely awful they were.

6. I can't sleep either.
I guess I'm still scarred from the trauma of waking up to the nightmare in 2000. I'm afraid if I go to sleep, everything will be switched back to nightmare mode. Maybe a good movie script in here somewhere.
