Re: OMG Bush is GONE!!! (4.00 / 3)

Can I really be the first to say "our long global nightmare is over"?

You can say it, but it doesn't make it true ;-)

What you could say is that the tone of the global dialogue has now changed somewhat, and that this may indeed lead to diplomatic reassessments worldwide.

There are entire swathes of this world that are culturally macho. It is useless to provoke them. Neutering them is more effective than threatening to nuke them.

No,no,no, you misunderstand. "Our long global nightmare is finally over..." as in "Now that our long global nightmare is finally over, we can finally go back to sleep."

Oh, it hasn't even started.

We are on the precipice of economic collapse, and with the notable exception of Spain, in North America and Europe the third wayers are in charge.

Not even the Eleventy-Hundred and First ... (none / 1)

... and waking from the nightmare, the weather outside is still bloody miserable.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
