The Celebration over Obama is Justified but also

[Hardrada]

A Day of Remembrance for the countless victims of GWB is also in order. A candle-lit display of sorrow that could be seen from the space station.

1. That would be nice

I believe the number one victim of * was The Constitution of The United States.

2. Burn some of that dried white (or sacred) sage. It's tribal incense.

I heard on Rachel Maddow's show that it's what the community in Machu Picchu did a couple of days after the bushes left there. Remember that footage of the bushes dancing with the tribal chieftains? Well, there was a saging ceremony in that community after they left - to get rid of the bad vibes. The guest on Rachel Maddow said there was to be a similar cleansing event in Washington DC's Dupont Circle - to get the evil spirits out of the White House before the Obamas officially move in. I think it was to have been held this weekend. I think I'll burn some too for that same reason. It grows wild at the back of our yard.

3. It would have to burned in immense quantities in very very

many locations to alleviate the deadly Bush legacy. Thanks for the info about the Macchu Picchu community. I think the Windsors should have done that at Buckingham Palace!

4. Yes, we can't have fun without remembering dead folk. Let it go for 1 day.

DAMN!!

5. NOT on the same day but within the time frame while the

transition is still new. This is not meant to rain on parades but is a necessary (I feel) adjunct to Bush's departure and could serve to remind us how much he needs to stand trial. Even a week or two afterwards would work.
