Aux armes, citoyens, formez vos bataillons...

"How annoying that they have to fight elections for their cause
The inconvenience--having to get a majority.
If normal methods of persuasion fail to win them applause
There are other ways of establishing authority,"

You know, I am an American.

I value this quite highly.

I love my country.

I do not love my leader.

Do I think bailing is appropriate? I'm actually torn. On one hand, I want to catch the next flight over to Fredericton to live with Tess because before, the world thought that we were a bunch of idiots who elected a gorilla and we didn't know any better.

This time, we knew.

And the majority voted for him.

Again.

Why? I don't know.

Do you know how horribly we're going to be thought of, now? It was bad enough when we were stuck with him, at least them the people at large were victims. Now we're idiots willingly going along, and I do not want to be lumped in with them.

"Then again we could be foolish
Not to quit while we're ahead
For distance lends enchantment
And that is why
All exiles are distinguished
More important, they're not dead"

If you get on the plane can I tag along. I really was serious about fitting in a medium sized suitcase.

I don't know why the majority of people in this country voted for him. Probably because the majority of this country can't think for themselves. But I'm cynical, bitchy and upset that I am viewed as being a part of those people. Which is really, really mean of me, but entirely how I feel.

My father said this morning, "America gets the leader it deserves." And call me unpatriotic, but that's damn right.
