Obligatory post of woe

Thank goodness I did an hour of yoga before checking CNN. I can face this with a calm, clear mind. I think.

Seriously, yes, we're in for four years of ultra-conservative nightmare, and that seems like forever. It's not. It's four years. The Forces With Brains are legion, folks. It's only four years, and our country has survived four years of darkness in times past. We'll get through this too, and come out the other end wiser. Be strong, keep voting.

And I'll pray my little brother comes back safely from Iraq. Again.
