Meet Democracy's boyfriend: the US Fourth Estate. Democracy exclaimed today, "It's a pity you couldn't perform, but fortunately I brought my own aid: The Blogger 2004."
I get the feeling that some election 2004 premature debunkulators are feeling a little embarrassed that they called it finished before we had our turn? Now they'd like to pretend there's no problem and issue a bad bad bad blog spanking - typical. It is a hard issue to address, there are many complicated theories and analyses to wade through. It isn't exactly romantic or exciting stuff. Democracy was heard pleading, "Pretty please - can we take a little time to get it right?"
Democracy admitted she likes a good clean "quickie" just as everyone occasionally does; but, she explains that sometimes "things are more complicated and take a little more patience." She made no comment when asked about plans for a separation. She muttered (almost inaudibly) that couples therapy may loom on the horizon.
Democracy closed with a heart felt plea to her longtime lover Mr. Media Mainstream:
"We'll get along much better with mutual satisfaction.
Don't be jealous I had to go outside our relationship to address my needs sweetheart. I didn't feel I had any other choice. I'm sorry I may have hurt you, but you hurt me too. I still love you. Come on over tonight - I'll show you mine if you show me yours..."
