Must We Look Back on 2007?

Must we look back on 2007? Can't we just get drunk? OK: it was a godawful year. All the years since Bush was elected and reelected (forgive us, Lord) have been awful. Was 2007 any worse? Can't we just have another cup of eggnog?

How about: let's look ahead! Another year of Bush being president. Excuse me, can I just get at the ladle? I don't care if it's fallen into the eggnog, I'll fish it out. So yeah, forget the past, we can look forward to continued foreign policy meltdowns, moral humiliation and now a serious recession. At least the super rich are doing well.

You know what? I don't think this stuff has much alcohol in it. Tastes like ice cream, really. Which is very responsible, since some people will be driving. But I'm not driving, personally, so maybe just a bit more.

I think everybody can agree that after the exciting 2006 elections, 2007 was not what we'd hoped. But: narrow majority and all of that. And there's another election coming up. Republicans are planning to nominate Homer Simpson, and he's not polling well. And already there have been some changes: Joseph Goebbels is no longer running the Justice Department. How about that!

So I guess I'll just sit down here, the floor is fine, I don't need a chair. Hey, happy New Year everybody!

We've become too complacent. We need to impeach this administration ASAP, or we can kiss this country good-bye.

Move over, Larry. I've got a flask of rum in my pocket and been down so long, the floor looks like up to me.

Narrow majority my a$$! Why didn't they force a damn filibuster, and make the rethuglicans ANSWER TO THE PEOPLE!?!?!?!?
