Curses!

Oh well, that’s that for another four years then. I always thought that Bush would win, but I’m still bitterly disappointed. I clung to a hope that Kerry might just, somehow, scrape through but alas, no. The low expectations I have of the American electorate have been met.

I’ve just watched the Kerry concession speech. I really could not see why he is portrayed as some alien-like freak who lacks humanity or why he left so many voters cold. I thought he came across as a genuinely likeable man, obviously shattered that his lifelong ambition had been denied him after coming so close, and totally gracious in defeat. It really is a shame.

Bush is due on soon. So there's something to look forward to.
