That was a headline in an MSN news site. I hate to tell them, but they're late- it was yesterday.
January 20,2005 saw the induction of a ursurper, liar, cheater and just really stupid person into the position of presidency of this nation. Our nation, were they smart enough or willing enough to think for themselves, would be weeping for mercy at this moment. Sadly too many are too busy living bored lives, all caught up in their own worlds, to worry about the ramifications of this event.
I have spent way too much of this week being angry beyond words that someone somehow has not stopped this stupid bastard from both getting into office and reproducing. Luckily, no boys were born to him, so that job has to pass to someone else. And his own brother has proven himself untrustworthy enough, I don't think he'd have a chance getting to the top office before he's too old. Anyway, the idiot Republicans are trying to change age old laws in this nation so they can put another puppet actour (Schwarzenegger) up there.

Many days later and I am once again astounded at how little what seems to me to be so important can, by all appearances, not effect the world in general. Life goes on, people do what they have to to get by, and despite the arrogance of the political doodoos running (into the ground) this country, not much really changes. Oh, there are a few things, but on the grander scale of living, it is as I has been for a thousand years. The accoutrements may change from generation to generation, and especially in this one, month to month, but the basics don't vary much, even culturally. The best I suppose one can hope for when one's government fails to be about the people is for a status quo to pretty much hold. The history books will, of course, tell lies and exaggerations that will make the person currently in office look larger or smaller than it already is. There is not much to be done for that, sadly. Even the worst of the Caesars got good write-ups at one time, and bad ones when they were supplanted.
