Same. Old. Shit.

Whew. Everything’s back to normal now. Hillary Clinton won. The Dems are acting like Dems. Change means status quo. The media is calling John McCain and Hillary Clinton the “comeback kids.” An apparent tear means more than a policy. Liberal bloggers are irrelevant. And, for course, none of us have to be bothered by the fact that we’re a nation at war. That’s sooooo last year. I feel so much better. Or, as Michael Stipe would say: “It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.”

Excuse me while I wring my brain out like a filthy washcloth. Because I don’t want the names Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney and the term “agent of change” lingering around in my mind together. It’s kind of creepy. I don’t want to have the image of Chuck Norris and Mike Huckabee there anymore, either. And I’m tired of the predictions and the pontification and the prognostication. Because it’s pretty clear that no one really knows what the fuck is happening out there.

You’d think that after nearly everyone blew it yesterday by assuring us all that a tidal wave of Obama-mania was inevitable that they’d take a few days to be quiet and lick their wounds. No such luck. Instead, at the very moment the facts were telling them that they were as wrong as wrong could be they began to spin how they now know why they were wrong and how they are now going to be right. The business of bullshit is a growth industry.

But I’m rinsing it all out. Wash, rinse, and wring. Goodbye sordid morsels of ninniness. Well, other than to say: The Dems deserve Hillary. Let the rotten ship sail….
