    Default Bush Wins, Kerry Concedes

    BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry conceded defeat to President Bush on Wednesday and asked the country to put the bitter divisions of the election behind them.

    "I spoke to President Bush and I offered him and Laura our congratulations on their victory," Kerry said in a speech to a cheering crowd in Boston.

    "We talked about the division in our country and the need, desperate need, for unity. ...Today, I hope we can begin the healing."

    White House aides said Bush would deliver victory remarks at 3 p.m. ET in Washington.

    Bush aides said the president will commit to reaching out to Democrats during his address.

    Kerry called Bush at his Oval Office desk about 11:02 a.m. ET, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. During the brief conversation, Bush told the senator he was "an admirable, worthy opponent."

    True, Penny, so true

    I read a short column by Joan Ryan, a local scribe. She says of the Republicans:

    Give them credit. They are like PG&E nabbing the candle concession for a blackout the company caused itself.

    I am very sad.

    On the agenda are:

    Killing Social Security

    Overturning Roe v Wade

    Constitutional ammendment banning same sex marriages. (This will then move to unions, then to .......

    Overtime pay was signed off during the last administration. So in january an employee will be working at the hourly discression of the boss.

    No law suits for medical malpractice.

    and on.

    Americans do not like each other much these days. Republicans have claimed patriotism and if you are not with em you are agin em.

    I mentioned to a friend. Bush is an ass. His reply was, "Yeah, but a dangerous one".

    Looks like Condi Rice will be the new Sec State and Paul Wolfowitz (architect of the great war in Iraq) will become National Security Advisor.

    Just hang on. Its gonna get rough

    I have several options for you ed:

    a) move to canada
    b) move to NZ
    c) get all those blue states to split off from the union and form a country of their own.
    d) wait for the electronic voting machines to be exposed as the massive cheats that they were.

    In saying all that, I think (e) pray that nothing really horrible happens will be the most helpful of all.
