11/13/2004: "It was a Good Week All in All"

It’s been kind of fun to just sit back and revel in all the good things that have happened in the last week.

1. Seeing Dubya reach the 60,000,000 votes milestone
2. Watching the Democratic Party implode
3. Seeing Yassar Arafat planted
4. Celebrating Veteran’s Day
5. Anticipating the end of the media vigil surrounding the Peterson case.

Yes, life is good in the red states. Being a lame-brained, yokel certainly has its advantages. No introspection required here and 60,000,000 votes means never having to say you are sorry. Congratulations again Mr. President and give that evil genius Karl Rove a hug and a kiss from me.

Listening to the hysteria ooze out of the Democratic Party representatives’ corpses this week has been a particularly satisfying experience. I am impressed with some of the creativity of the spin. How could this have happened? No, it wasn’t the evangelicals. No, it wasn’t gay baiting. No, it wasn’t fear mongering. No, it wasn’t moral values. No, it wasn’t stupidity. This happened because a majority of the voting population made up of every age group, ethnic background, race, religion, socioeconomic level, and educational level heard your message and rejected it. Learn from it. For those debating about whether or not they should move to Canada so they won't feel disenfranchised, debate no more….GO! For those of you contemplating secession, forget it. That requires war and you just don’t have the stomach for it.

Speaking of corpses, Yassar Arafat is dead. Good. Good-bye and good riddance.

A belated thank you to all of our Veteran’s. To those of you who suffered the slander of John Kerry’s rhetoric in the 70’s and again throughout his campaign, Welcome Home and Thank you! Your special day was November 2nd and again on the 11th. To all the brave men and woman who have fought and continue to fight to keep us free, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Scott Peterson will soon fade from memory and a mention of his name will evoke, “Who?” As Martha would say, “That’s a good thing.”

Had a wonderful visit with my daughter and son-in-law, too bad it went by so quickly. Yes, life is really good in the red states.
