The Image That Gives Me Hope

It seems that there are a lot of people very depressed about the outcome of the election today. I am not.

I see an image in my mind that gives me hope for the future...one of hope. I see Bush being led from the whitehouse in handcuffs, to face the music for his crimes against our country and against humanity.

Now, I know that we have yet to find any incontrovertible proof of any wrongdoing, but it will come. It will come.

I can see it clearly. Bush being dragged roughly towards a waiting police car by angry police officers, his handcuffed wrists behind his back, tears streaming down his cheek, blubbering like a child, his wife screaming as she is pushed into a cab by shocked family members, an angry mob behind barriers, flashbulbs going off like Indepence Day fireworks...He stumbles as they get close to the police car, and is yanked up roughly by the arm, his wail of pain greeted by mocking cheers from the surrounding mob. The open door of the police car is now waiting for him, and he looks into the eyes of the officer, saying something unintelligible and pleading.

The cop laughs, and as his fellow officer pushes Bush's head down to urge him into the backseat of the car, he kicks Bush in the ass, propelling him into the back seat, where he falls clumsily into the lap of his old friend Dick Cheney, who is also in handcuffs. He is not crying though. He is much too cold-hearted for that, and his patience has worn off. He brings a knee up into Bush's face, breaking his nose, and says, "Get off me you worthless, sniveling worm. You've outlived your usefulness."

The cops slam the door, the crowd cheers, and that is the last we ever hear from these two men.

It will happen. Believe it. Maybe not in this exact way, but sometime in the next four years, IT WILL HAPPEN.

There, now doesn't that cheer you up?
