I said it, you said it, pretty much anyone with a brain larger than a grape or a soul more nimble than a rock said it maybe a thousand times over. And you probably weren't even all that drunk when you said it and maybe you were even a little more than half serious and maybe you said it just like this: If Bush somehow snags another election, if the unthinkable comes to pass and the Dubya neocon nightmare refuses to end, well, that's it. I'm outta here.
Done. Over. Gone. Moving away. To Canada. Or France. Latvia. Uranus. Anywhere, really, that doesn't have Bush as leader and that doesn't make me openly ashamed to be a citizen and that doesn't make me feel like a sickened disillusioned ulcerated outcast in my own happily divisive country every damn day including Sunday.
You want a place, you say, that doesn't right this minute seem to be working heroically to make homophobia and born-again fundamentalism and pre-emptive isolationist warmongering and environmental ignorance a national religion. A place where SUVs aren't considered minor deities and where gay people aren't loathed for wanting to slice a wedding cake and where brazen heavily narcotized denial in the face of a veritable mountain of presidential lies isn't the national pastime.
Tempting, isn't it? To just move away to a sunnier, clothing-optional utopia and wait for it all to be over, for the dark days to pass and the Shrub era to sink into the tar pits of history and the fog to finally lift?
After all, most all of us on the progressive Left feel we truly faced the dragon this election, and we put up a valiant fight and marshaled as potent an army of dissenters and intellectuals and moderates and liberal crusaders and feminists

Well. Wasn't that.... special? I think he drank the bong water.
We could all chip in a dime and pretty soon we'd have enough $$ to buy this fool a ticket outta here. Somewhere on the web yesterday, I saw the State Dept guidelines for renouncing citizenship. Perhaps we should email them to Morford...
This just too funny! THE RESISTANCE! LOL, where are these spineless weasels when it comes to resisting the REAL enemy. I swear I am going to call Canada and get those gates open fast. We need for all of these "Blame America Firsters" to exit the country pronto.
And he ends with ""The tunnel is just a little darker -- and longer -- than we imagined. ". Mr. Morford, meet Dr. Freud.
I guess the theme of the column is "Don't mourn, ORGANize". Heh heh. Heh heh heh.
He forget to mention Cheney! Wow he must be really pissed!
Keyword are still there. You'll have to go back to the first page to see the article and keywords.
I wonder if the Mod can suspend me for other people's keywords. Probably.
ROFL
Oh NO! The left is not leaving! They are going to "hunker down" and plant flowers!
I am an evil conservative and I like concrete!
The mods can find out who posted them, but, given the history, I am surprised it hasn't happened. However, I though Thursday was the day you typically get banned.
Brrrrr! Sounds kind of chilly this time of year.
There were a ton more keywords there that have been removed. They weren't exactly polite.
It is apparent that Mark Morford has been watching too many Michael Moore cartoons.
Lick each other? Yuck!
It's far from over. The tunnel is just a little darker -- and longer -- than we imagined.
The projection of hate and intolerance by the whacko left is unbelievable.
Actually lately its been Monday, because I usually need a good thread to get me going in the morning.
