I linked to this on the No Talking About Politics thread, but I thought I'd reprint it here for easy reference.

Also, I'm a shameless self-promoter:


We argued for months about taxes and war,
Immigration, abortion, and the needs of the poor,
The bailouts and handouts, and moral decay,
What should we give, and what should we pay

But I’m still going to like you,
I’m still your good friend,
Even if that stupid ratfink
Wins out in the end.
I really don’t blame you
For putting him there
You’ve wrecked the economy,
But, bud, I won’t care.

Of course I really will blame you, if you decide
To turn on good graces with words that are snide.
It would be just like your party, to throw that away
Bunch of supercilious, panty-waisted, bigoted, propagandist, whiny, co-dependent, elitist, MORONS.
Still I say,

I’m still going to like you,
‘Cause I know who you are,
And deep down inside you
You think I’m a star.
It must be really deep down
‘Cause that smirk on your face,
Makes me want to punch you
And vandalize your place.

Why can’t we get along? Why so much rage?
I heard that your candidate likes to date underage!
And he eats little children, and spits on the flag–
He plays Warcraft on dial-up to induce server lag.

I’m still going to like you
Through the next four year term
Even if you waste a vote
On that grimy, spineless worm.
I think you’re upstanding,
But you haven’t got a clue
And even if you hate me,
Even if you really really hate me
Even if you look upon me with a disgust that amounts to absolute detestation
(Props to you, Mssrs. Gilbert and Sullivan, wish you were still with us today)

Even if you hate me,
I’ll still be liking you.


Happy voting!

The thought of doing ANYTHING online using dial-up makes me feel sad.

The internet cannot be experienced at 56k

Pvping with dial up?

No way. That's like the 4th level of hell.

I had dial-up up until about 2 weeks ago.

I got used to it, but it's hard to motivate yourself to post when it takes, like, 5 minutes for the post to go through.

Not being able to watch video online sucked a little.

I got an Alltel wireless modem. It's 60 bucks a month, but it's as fast as a cable modem. I also bought a new computer. It's not the top of the line, but it's a crapload better than that thing from the year 2000 Windows ME-running POS that I was using.

Thanks for this Scott. I forwarded to family members and friends (along with the link to your blog). I hope it will heal some hard feelings over this election.

Thank heavens it's over finally.
