Who would have thought one letter would be so powerful? Especially when that one letter is relegated to the upper-left corner of the keyboard, holding court with the Q. W has become so useless that no one even talks about the letters in front of a web address. It’s all bangbusdotcom this and cheatinghousewivesdotcom that – it’s just assumed to be somewhere on the “world wide web” (as my parents still call it). In fact, www is to dotcom what Jan is to Marsha. Now, in the U.S. – or double-U.S., actually – the next four years belong to a letter. And it's not even the first letter - or even in the first half - of the alphabet. Nope, it's number 23. Just like the winner of the 2000 election was actually second place. And who was that?

Here are some random thoughts from today:
Would Bush have still won if the candidates pulled a wife-swap?
Bush is the first president with a four-letter last name to serve two terms. Aren't we lucky? I can think of some more four-letter words to describe our situation.
Will anyone die this week? There were a lot of non-voters out there, and apparently, death is the only other option.
Finally, the best bumper sticker I saw during the entire election process: “Democrats are sexy. Who ever heard of a nice piece of elephant?”

w is the worst letter in the alphabet. is it even really a letter, or just a redundancy of u? it is so hard to say that we had to dumb it down to dubya for the masses.
as for your questions... i think they should do a post-election wife swap and let the sparks fly. teresa would totally kick bush's ass.
there are plenty of people dying in the middle east, and there are about to be a lot more. the shit's gonna hit the fan in falluja (say it with me... fah-loo-sha, love that) and it won't be pretty.
