A year and a day
Wednesday, January 12, 2005

I'm not a sports fan. Never have been, really. So I'm not as accustomed as some to the experience of loosing. Oh, I've lost before - games, races, contests, etc. - but watching a team you supported loose is something different altogether. Especially in politics.

The feeling is worse than loss. It's closer to rejection. Dealing with that has been difficult for most of us who don't support the current Administration. I still havn't seen a major catharsis in the any-one-but Bush community. It's January, and I think we're still floating free. There is no singular voice of leadership in opposition to the Bush Administration to rally behind. Howard Dean was the closest we came until the pep-rally scream incident was played by the media, the right, and the entrenched left for all it was worth. But Dean might yet have his say.

Here's hoping.

At any rate, analysis is not acceptance. Nor is it particularly constructive at this point. The NeoCons are shaping our future today. That's a fact. Waiting until 2008 for another cheap compromise ticket is not an option I'm particularly looking forward to. And to be honest, ranting and raving at every injustice, inaptitude, and outright deception perpetrated by BushCo just doesn't sit well with me either. To do so would be repeating the mistakes of the past. They are framing the argument everyday, and we are left with nothing but our own tails to chase in the echochamber of our blogs. Hence my prolonged silence here.

Fortunately, things change.
