True,true...but some people like to pretend things are gloomier than it actually is.I guess they think that FR has a section for "QUEEN FOR A DAY"/"THE SWAN" candidates. :-)
The Swan is appropriate since the women can't see themselves for month at a time. When they finally get a look at themselves after all the fussing and surgery, many don't recognize themselves. A conservative who whines and whines probably will confuse their own reflection with Al Franken.
Things are bad but not that bad. This is America where bad can turn into fantastic without firing one shot.
