Well-done, Please

I'm a Republican, so it goes without saying the past three days have not been a high point in my life. That said, there's still no reason to let this ruin my life. Although I admire the snark (and fashion sense) of the cynic, I'm an optimist at heart and I can't help but look at the bright side of my party's political defeat.

Although Republicans lost the House and the Senate, I can at least take some solace in the fact that, as a party, we have been very cordial losers. To my knowledge, there has been no kicking, screaming, demands for recounts or the like.

If Democrats had lost by the same degrees the Republicans did earlier this week, there would be shouts of voter fraud, "This ballot is too confusing!" and "BUSH STOLE THE ELECTION! BUSH IS SATAN! WAH-WAH-WAH!"

What was Bush's response? "Well, I've got to admit I'm a little surprised and dissapointed." Liberals make thinks he's an idiot, but at least he is a good sport when he's beaten fair and square.
