Perspective

• I haven't been happy with the result of any presidential election since Clinton in 1992 (when I wasn't old enough to vote), and I became permanently disenchanted with him after "don't ask, don't tell" in July 1993.
• I've never voted for a presidential candidate who won: Dole in 1996, Nader in 2000 (long story), Kerry in 2004.
• It takes up to a year to become a Canadian citizen, and another three years to become a full citizen, and by then it'll be time for the next U.S. presidential election anyway. (Information via that CNN story everyone's linking to, "No Canada safe haven for Democrats.")
• Also Canada is cold.

I've been trying to think of a spiffy wrap-up line, but I can't. Anyway, post-election letdown isn't exactly new to me; I've been there here, I've done that this, and I guess there's no reason I can't do it again. And again. And again. (Repeat as necessary.) And now, back to my regularly scheduled, typically cynical, unexciting but easily amused, all-around-smartass life.
