Kerry Goes Down Without a Fight

John Kerry concedes. I'm a little surprised, given the dim glimmer of hope they were holding on to in Ohio. Let the recriminations begin, and oh will it be nasty.

I got an email from the RI Politics listserv with the subject line "GWB = God Wishes Bush". Another one said "Now we can safely bomb the terrorists hideouts eg Paris France, etc." Welcome to 21st century America, folks. Every instant message I've gotten this morning has been borderline despondant. Buck up guys, it's a weird world that we live in. The next four years are going to be EXTREMELY interesting. I'm especially looking forward to what happens in 2008 when Roe v. Wade gets overturned by newly minted hardline conservative judges on the Supreme Court.

Also, A Cry for Help news is now projecting that George W. Bush has killed Rhode Island icon Salty Brine.
