Liberals Up in Arms
It's week 2 of the "we lost, let's whine" show in America, and people still can't come to grips with Kerry's stunning lost to the Least Qualified President Ever. There is, of course, the usual "let's move to Canada" rallying cry that lasts a couple of weeks until they realize that in Canadia it's like 30 below zero year round and the football is so bad they let Lawrence Phillips play.
People just don't realize that we are in a backlash. After years of half-naked pop stars, we are undergoing a natural cycle back towards "morality", which in a few years will once again become unpopular. The more disturbing part is that the Republican party managed to dupe the unwashed masses into believing that their candidate stood for "old-fashioned family values" despite the fact that he lied to America and continues to send our money and lives overseas to die in a pointless war.
I guess this is the natural rebellion against Clinton's philandering and a sure sign that, along with the rise in popularity of NASCAR, the reanimation of Jeff Foxworthy, and the inevitable "bring back creationism in schools" movement, rednecks rule the world. Just remember that, like Ashlee Simpson's career, popularity is fleeting and once something becomes mainstream it never stays that way for long.
Soon it will be trendy to be intelligent again. Until then, the cars driving endlessly in circles can be strangely mesmerizing...

You're right - I think we're all still in shock that more than half of the country really wants the "nascar-driving, gun-totin' Jesus" that was on Conan last night. I'm not sure why we're so surprised though. When was the last time this country was liberal? The early 1970s? It's taking a long time for the pendulum to swing back.
