I went to a dinner party last night and we all ended up talking about how horrible Bush is, and how scary the country and media has become. But there was no optimism - even as an active Deanie (and I plugged my candidate without being annoying) and people looking towards 2004 everyone had the same fearful reaction : "I don't know what's going to happen but it will get worse."
I shared their view. The media conspiracy and electorate idiocy (Yay! We got Saddam! I feel sooo good I don't even need a job! hooray!) will guarantee the continuence of the real evil empire. And we are doomed!
