fifty years have ridden off into the sunset

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of
the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way
I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while
I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will

Want. Badly. Christmas is coming soon. Hint, hint.

Sigh.
Really, I just have so much going on right now that I feel like I could use a five-year vacation.
I'm not complaining. Really I'm not. I'm just ... uh ... doing some healthy venting. Yeah.

Not much for conversation, I still find need to pray
Sometimes I get tired of walking through these ordinary days
If nothing else I get to see you, even if we never speak
The harm of words is sometimes we don't quite know what they really mean
I don't know where
I don't know how
I don't know why
But your love can make these things better
Let me lay down in this field and stare up at the sky
I hope the days and clouds turn into something as they pass us by
And maybe you could settle for a skyline faded blue
I hope that you might settle for this love I have for you
I don't know where
I don't know how
I don't know why
But your love can make these things better
I don't know where
I don't know how
I don't know why
But your love can make these things better
I don't know where
I don't know how
I don't know why
But your love can make these things better
Your love can make these things better
Your love can make these things better
Your love can make these things better ...

Dear Moderate, Reasonable Republicans,
I know you like to vote for "your guy". I know you like it when "your team" does well. It's a good feeling, but it has no place in politics. Partisan manuevering benefits the politicians at our expense. They have you playing their game for them: you give the two-party system the power to repress all other voices, the power to be virtually indistinguishable.
Thanks to your blind willingness to follow party lines, you've managed to elect a fundamentalist religious nut job who is literally convinced that a magic man in the sky has more to do with his position within the White House than your vote.
In four years he took us from the most prosperous, peaceful time in the history of America to the worst economy since the Depression and an era of unprecedented fear and war.
But he is "your guy" so you voted for him. Way to go.
You needed to send a message to the leadership of your party. You needed to tell them that it doesn't represent you or your interests any more. You needed to draw a line, to reign in your own party, to make it sane again instead of the gross caricature it has become.
You failed.
Understand this. For the next four years, every bit of bad news that will come down the pipes; every death of an American soldier in Iraq; every terrorist act against our now openly aggressive nation; every slip in the economy; every backhanded deal that benefits the rich and hurts the rest of us; every afront to the rights and freedoms and of all men and women; and all the other atrocities and absurdity this administration has yet to enact, these are all on your heads.
