Some days I question reality..
I mean.. here I am everything is ok...

Yet I read shit in GD and LBN that makes me say "What the fuck?".

I mean.. some of what is going on cannot be real can it? I mean.. things are happening tht are unconstitutional and are the very reason our country was founded.

I am simply in awe.

1. I know what you mean...
But the end of the world always feels like this...everything's okay, and it creeps up on you slowly, one piece at a time, until suddenly the world you're standing in is unutterably altered.

Welcome to the other side. Don't forget where your towel is.

2. It's in the bathroom...
but I have several backup towels..

I guess I am just questioning why we aren't knee-deep in civil-war or at the very least the prelude to it.

If this were another civilized nation, wouldn't there be massive uproar regarding Bush? Shouldn't he have been thrown out of office? Shouldn't he be facing criminal charges?

I mean.. I mean.. *takes a deep breath*

What the fuck?? :wtf:

3. You know better...
Come on, take a look at any of the books in the living room bookshelf...haven't other "civilized" nations passed this way before?

4. I know.. it's just..
Have I been in pseudo-denial this whole time?

Isn't it just a total clusterfuck out there?

Looks like a clusterfuck from here, anyway. :shrug:

P.S. This IS the prelude to civil war, or else to something awful.

8. I am just praying that the election
is really an election and that everything comes up sunshine and roses.

I am a cynic though...

Still hope is a good thing..

6. Better focus better, my friend
Yer damned right. It is getting worse all the time. Unconstitutional; just wait. Is that Eichmann as your avatar? Hitler tried for, but never had, the power that GWB holds now.

I have been wondering about that avatar all day. Col. Klink it's not. I am of course referring to everythingsxian's avatar. Edit: Disregard, the avatar has been changed.

9. Things are so crazy.
I just cannot believe it...

Is this what the common folks in Nazi Germany thought?

That things are ok. It will pass. Etc. ?

Oy.
