Just a Bit Bitter
I must confess — I wasn’t at all bitter until I wandered over to this site and realized that somewhere along the way America became a nation of pessimists who seem to relish in complaining longer and louder than the next poor bloke. Of course, if that poor bloke is from Somalia, he doesn’t have time to do much but risk life and limb to find a fresh drink of water. But, then again, it’s all relative — he’s never known anything else, and we grew up with Nintendos and McDonalds.
So perhaps I’m only temporarily a bit bitter. Perhaps we will see a magical transformation once the evil George Bush leaves office and the Savior becomes our next president. All my itty bitty bitterness will go away because He will wave his magic wand and utter the magic words, “Yes we can!!!” People will rejoice in the streets inauguration night and report to their magically created jobs the next morning. And they will go to sleep at night and dream that they are back in Kansas.
