-------------------------- THE PARTY'S ON, SO PARTY ON!
Where: From Sea to Shining Sea What: The end of Tyranny When: Jan. 20, 2009 Who: You and yours
--------------------------
The question is: how?
How shall we commemorate the official end of what may be regarded by historians as the bleakest 8-yr. period in American history?
Should people take to the streets, mardi-gras-style, with trumpets and beads and beer?
Should we fill every major sports arena with cheering people, happy to be free?
Should we dip our index fingers in purple ink, proud of the fact that we voted the criminals out of office, at last?
Is there a statue somewhere of Bush that we can topple?
Maybe parades will be in order with huge floats, each one representing another stooge of this administration - e.g. Alberto Gonzales, followed by Harriet Miers, followed by Rumsfeld, Cheney, Scooter Libby and KKKRove. Dress warmly: it will be a very long parade. Caution: care should be taken when filling floats with helium due to the already-present abundance of stale hot-air.
Or maybe we should party like it's the 4th of July. After all, we are about to regain some measure of indepencence, if the Dems don't let us down. Fireworks everywhere, synchronized and set to go off only minutes after the new Democratic president in sworn in, in D.C.
Or - my personal favorite - how about a New-Year's-Eve-themed blow-out party, simulcast on TV from several major cities? Hosted in LA by the lovely Valerie Plame Wilson and her husband, Joe. In LA, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins. In NY... well, you get the picture. And the ball will be programmed to drop when the presidential oath has been taken by whichever worthy Democrat has been elected to serve.
And the whole world will watch as the huge sphere (with Bush's cynical, evil face on it) slowly, but inevitably, sinks out of sight. Eight years too late, but better late than never. -------
