Final thoughts


It’s been quite a ride to today, the great big election that will decide the future of our country — at least until President Bush declares marshal law, because you totally know he will. Don’t test him. Anyway, I’d like to think we’ve all learned something about ourselves during the past few months. But that’s probably asking for too much.

So hopefully by this time tomorrow we’ll have some idea of what’s next for us. Well, for you, at least. After covering the election beat for the past two months, I’ve seen some pretty frightening stuff. Lies, slander, threats of total Armageddon. And that was just my fan mail. They say high-pressure situations reveal a person’s true character, and if that’s true, the America people’s true character scares the bejeezus out of me. Because this high-pressure situation? Didn’t go so well.

So, thanks. It’s been wonderful and enlightening and maybe a little fattening, but whatever the outcome tomorrow, I’m moving to Mexico. At least they wear their political corruption on their sleeves. Plus, on a columnists salary, I can live like a king. Laters!
