It's midnight. The election coverage has basically stated that Bush has just won. I just can't seem to do much better than mediocre today, and I'm wishing I had more than just Smirnoff in my fridge.

What about everyone else? Thoughts and conjectures (outside of Switchboard), anyone?

I'm so depressed. I'm going to live in a tiny island in the middle of nowhere.

It is indeed, very fucky.

I started smoking up in anticipation of a good night. Really regretting it now with anxiety weighing down hard, stomach churning. Jesus, they're talking about a couple of weeks for the full count, I'm not sure I can handle the stress.


Fuck.

Four more years of this fucker, and a mandate to wage war pre-emptively, and lie his arse off.

I'm praying that the Ohio count and the provisional ballots come out in favour of Kerry, but like NG, I really can't handle the stress of a protracted re-count for another 10 days or so.

What is wrong with people? Gahh.

This is so not fair. I was supposed to be having celabratory tantric snuggles right now to the sound of a landslide in Kerry's favor. G.W. Chimpo is gonna win by a single electoral point and call it a mandate. Again. Fuck

On the "bright" side...Hillary Clinton is a shoe-in for 2008.

Still fucking depressed though.

No, not giving up. There are a lot of uncounted ballots, no matter what the media might be pumping up to get a headline. Give them time, for fuck's sake. Bush will still be in office until January anyway, so what's the fucking hurry if you're so sure you've won? Huh? Huh? Don't let the bastards steamroller you like last time.

Feeling very depressed and powerless at the moment. And scared.

My deepest condolences to the entire world.

Hey, my news have just told me that there are still people voting in Ohio. Must have been quite a line, then. Anyone know about this?

The BBC is reporting that, electoral college be damned, Bush has massively won on just the number of votes cast. We were all expecting a close race with Bush having to cheat to edge to victory. How the fuck did this happen? I know my kneejerk reaction is to categorise 'Amuurkens' as ignorant pig-fucking inbred hicks, just as they categorise the British as dentally-challenged emotionally-retarded idiots, but I KNOW Americans AREN'T stupid. They are a people who should be the shining example of the height of democracy, and to think a people that started as an escape from religious tyranny have willingly elected in to power a religious junta that states openly a goal of taking over the world in a way that puts the leaders of Burma, Iran and North Korea to shame...

How the blistering fuck did this happen?

In a way it's worse than 2000 because now, unless the Democrats can prove something very quickly, Bush can claim a popular mandate for his policy of fucking everything up.

Has something happened like with Dean back at the start of the year? Did the Kerry supporters just not vote?

In unsurprising news 1/3 of the voting population have reported problems with touchscreen voting. This needs to be shouted loudly, after the 2000 there seemed to be a sense of 'well Bush didn't win but he's there now so let's not rock the boat'. People are reporting flaws in an electronic system owned and run by friends of George W. Bush.

Isn't that where Kirk was born?

Meme, the link to the news story about US planes bombing targets, it had a tasteful ad for wireless connections, which showed a plan view of a city map and the wireless points pulsing, oh, like the strike points of bombs. Nice!

I am exhausted, having worked for Ohio Democrats for 13.5 hours yesterday (I sat outside in the rain all day--harrassed by Republicans periodically), 8 hours monday, 6 hours on Sunday, getting out the vote. Imagine how I feel . .

Dear Population of the Rest of the World:

As an American, I apologize for the recent stupidity and brutality of our country, and for the (possible) election of Bush. Please understand that a very substantial portion of our population loathes the man and everything he stands for. It seems, however, that an even larger portion has no problem with our country devolving into quasi-fundamentalist fascism.

If my job skills are at all transferable, which could be tricky (I'm a U.S. intellectual property lawyer), my wife and I will be moving to Canada, the U.K., or possibly even France as soon as possible. This is something that people quite often say as a bit of rhetoric, but I'm quite serious.

Once again, my most heartfelt and sincere apologies.

Yours etc.,

- E.

If I had a pound for everyone who's said to me today: "Ah well, better the devil you know", I'd probably have enough money to persuade Celibate Mink to go and assassinate George Bush. Or Girls Aloud.

Eskvig, given the amount of American entertainment produced in Canada, you might well find an interest in your skills here, especially Toronto or Vancouver.

I feel sorry for the US right now - they don't seem stupid, just scared and self-righteous, along with a heaping dose of xenophobia. It seems like a pretty sad headspace to be in.

The impact this is going to have on my own country is what makes me furious. Canada's been going in a nicely liberal direction for years, but facing increasing pressure from the US conservative forces not to do things like legalize gay marriage and decriminalize marijuana. Not to mention the expensive and non-functional missle defense system that the majority of Canadians don't want but that our government might accept anyway, just to keep the Bush folks happy. Kerry the Statesman would have gone a long way to repairing those relationship rifts, but My-way-or-the-highway Bush is going to put our present minority government in an awkward position, however things play out.

Still hoping for Ohio, but that's an uphill battle at this point...
