Economy is improving, we've captured Saddam Hussein... Things aren't looking so bad this Christmas. Funny how when things go well in the U.S. the only ones that lose out are the liberals. :)
I'm a liberal, and I fail to see how I lose out. Let's look at my recent circumstances and see if I'm missing something that should make me sad:
- I just got a nice severance package from a big company as I left to join a small one.
- I get to loaf for two weeks between the old job and the new one.
- The Sun is shining.
- The U.S. Supreme Court just upheld bans on soft money in Federal election campaigns.
- As a result of a war that I endorsed (not that you were listening), Saddam Hussein is now captured.
- As a result of a war that I endorsed, thousands of people have died, the French hate the U.S., and Bush might get reelected.
- Howard Dean was just endorsed by Al Gore.
- The dollar is in the dumper.
Some good, some bad. Most of the bad won't affect my personal lifestyle directly. I guess I win.
I agree with the rest of your comments. There's a difference between a liberal and a crypto-Marxist.
