The Blues Room

Ashcroft gone.

Paraphrased letter of resignation:

<SuperAshcroft> *powerpose* MY JOB HERE IS DONE! *flies off into the horizon*

Strangest mental image ever: George W. Bush as Gaston from "Beauty and the Beast." Can't you see it?

...despite what everybody thinks, tomorrow will not mark the first day of the end of this insanity. This is just the beginning.

Regardless of who wins tomorrow between the Big Two, and especially if someone OUTSIDE the Big Two manage to win after the midnight count, Blood. Will. Fly.

Accusations of voter fraud on both sides abound; neither wants to believe their own party's hands are dirty in any way. Democrats are being accused of multiple votes, Republicans are allegedly blocking Democratic votes and/or altering ballots, and anyone who thinks either of these aren't going to be brought up in the next week ought to look at this bridge I'm selling. Nobody will be satisfied at ALL.

Face it, folks, regardless of the turnout, these next four years are gonna be hell. If not because the -incumbent or -elect end up screwing up on policies important to you or others, because you can bet your ass people will not let this election die.

Amendment: This will not be the last thing I will say about this election. Somewhere down the line, if anyone believes otherwise and tells me so, I reserve the right to an "I told you so."

And before I actually LEAVE, something I figure anybody voting in the US should read, as ganked from shadur and coldfury: Voters have been unknowingly deregistered out of their precincts by mysterious evil third parties.

Check your registration, especially you people in swing states. Preempt these possible messes before they happen!

(Commentlocked. Any comments on this really ought to go in the thread proper.)

Having just acquired the first two Azumanga Daioh GNs, I took a moment and scanned a few images from what I thought was one of the cutest things I'd seen, and turned it into an animated icon. In about half an hour, I managed to toss this together.

After getting back online today, however, I decided to make a variation inspired by miggy (original post here) that goes a little something like this. I find it a a really cute punchline for whatever reason.

Still working on backing up my computer as much as possible. Hopefully will send computer to Dell this coming week.

Don't like war. Don't like war protesters. I live in fear of people realizing I'm American and lumping me in the Bush lot. There are idiots everywhere, and a lot of them are anti-everything-as-long-as-we-can-beat-the-shit-out-of-people-or-break-things.

It's not so much the war on its own as the timing of the war I don't like. It's too convenient, and it should not be led by Bush Jr., who seems to think it's a video game. We should have waited until someone competent was in office before doing this.

Gotta go to a group thing in a second...and I'll leave you with this thought:

"Instilling fear into your peoples and hiding your chemical, biological, and nukeular weapons and hoarding all your oil to yourself is wrong! I am the magical President Sailor Bush! And in the name of Freedom, Justice, and Oil, I will punish you!"
