Hi everybody. I'm away from the DIS for a couple of days and it feels like I've been gone forever.
I only read the last page or two, but am I correct in assuming that there continues to be an invasion of leftists? Poor things... they're like the Hare Krishna people in airports back in the 70's and 80's. They can't take "no" for an answer and they won't quit pestering you.

At any rate, continue with the bombardment of flowers and lasagna, and send up the batsignal if necessary.
Is anyone else feeling really out of place in terms of what's going on right now? I remember when the Bush-haters would say stuff like "Bush is not my president" and I wouldn't understand. I do now. I feel like some kind of outside observer of American politics at the moment. I don't look to H as any kind of leader, any more than I do the head of some foreign country -and he hasn't even taken office yet!
I didn't fell like that during the Clinton years. It honestly surprises me because I am typically a loyal and patriotic person, but right now I have nothing but disdain for the coming administration. Maybe worse yet, it could turn into apathy.
As I think about it, this is probably similar to the range of emotions that an assault victim goes through. Having been mugged the victim feels anger, and then just gets sort of numb.
What comes next?
