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, at least he's not bitter.
He may be welcome at Uranus, but not mine.
Someone in San Fransisco is pining for Uranus? Hmmmm....there's a joke there somewhere...
We gotta hold him to it.
BWAAAHHHHAAAAAA
I've got a feeling there isn't much room left in Mr. Morford's Uranus.
If he wants to move somewhere where people are not ashamed of Bush, I suggest Afghanistan or Iraq. Possibly Poland.
Send us a postcard, crackboy.
Wow, I never realized that a KoolAid hangover was so brutal. :=)
Does he have any Uranus left?
Are you kidding? You could run a subway car through it.
Mark Morford, Andrew Sullivan's loofah sponge.
That's his title of his/her article? BWAHAHAHA!!!
Bwahahahahahahahahaha
Why exactly does this guy miss Saddam again? Wasn't he the ultimate homophobic, fundamentalist, warmongering destroyer of the environment?
Wake me up when Bush imprisons and tortures all his detractors, annexes Mexico or Canada, and lights all the oil wells in Texas on fire to spite the world.
The keywords people post are often the best part of these Morford threads!
Keep it coming. I'm lovin' it!
Have you seen Molly Ivans column today? Holy Moly. Something about dead chickens tied around our necks. She is truly bitter. Old goat.
Dont start none, wont be none, beeyatch!
