america voted, and america got what it wanted.
my country said last night that deficit spending, fighting wars with countries who had no wmds, deceptions, lies, ignorance, and tax cuts for the rich was what it wanted.
my country said that they'd rather vote for the awol-er than the triple purple hearter to defend the nation.
my country said that our gay brothers and sisters shouldn't have the right to marry.
my country said that they wanted new senators. three in particular. one who thinks that unwed mothers and gays shouldnt be school teachers, one who thinks that doctors who perform legal abortions should get the death penalty, and one who thinks that there should be a consititutional amendment to protect prayer in schools.
my country thinks that it's right to go it alone and be the world police even if we're wrong about who we attack and even if it means that our children will have to pay for it with their lives and their finances.
my country thinks that the loser of all three presidential debates should get four more years.
my country thinks that its totally ok that Bush appointed the #1 timber lobbyist to be the head of the Forest Service, a mining industry lobbyist who thinks public lands are unconstitutional to be head of public lands, as well as several other anti-environmentalist to make it easy for corporations to pollute the air and water and rape our natural resources.
makes me wonder if my country actually thinks.
but it is my country, the land that i love. through thick and thin, through better and worse.
moving away is never an option. plus MY people have been here for 400 years. we aint going nowhere.
and this isn't about democrat or republican. this is about freedoms versus fears. this is about failure versus hope.
my country picked a failure who ran on one platform: vote republican or die.
cuz thats all he had.
thats all he was made of.
and last night i got to see what my country is made of.
so today i hope my country realizes that it just got what it asked for.
be careful what you ask for.
for these people will continue to hide valueable information from us
they will continue to give tax cuts during times of war to the rich, as irresponsible as that is. as foolish. as pandering.
you encouraged BushCo to keep on keeping on, america.
well, at least 51% of you did.
so give yourselves a round of applause.
on the brighter side, i have a good feeling that conscious hip hop will be back
with a vengence.
rock too.
and liberalism, which i dont subscribe to, will be bigger and louder and more organized than ever before.
homer simpson voted for who his buddies told him to vote for.
anna kournikova now has her enrique.
and all of those who said that nothing could be worse than these last four years
ya'll mothefuckas aint seen nothing yet.

HAHAHA - Hey look, the bottom one describes you: angry, bitter, little boy.
.Sternberg...developed what he called the theory of ''successful intelligence,'' which holds that all people have three kinds of abilities: the analytical ability that is the focus of most standardized testing; the practical ability he also calls ''street smarts''; and the creative ability to adjust and invent. Underpinning all three is the ''tacit knowledge'' that helps people handle everyday encounters and situations. A
All but analytical ability, he says, are measures overlooked by traditional tests such as the SAT.
''There are people who are really good at traditional tests, who may get 1200s, and then when they get out of school, that's the end of the story for them,'' Sternberg said. ''They don't get along with people. They don't persuade people to listen to them.''
