Get Over It!

Who's been following the South Park/Isaac Hayes/Scientology ordeal? Personally I'm a big fan of the show. I think it is one of the few outlets which creatively spoofs and satires pretty much everything. And whenever you think they've done it all, they go one step beyond. But this is getting ridiculous. I identify with numerous groups that Matt & Trey have made fun of. Do I get pissed off? No. I realize that anything you identify with is not perfect and subject to ridicule and scrutinization. The fact that Isaac Hayes quit over this issue and Tom Cruise is being...well Tom Cruise, goes to show you that these people take themselves way too seriously.

I've noticed while driving around a diappropriate number of political stickers on cars left over from the 2004 campaign. For those of you still cursing/celebrating the election I have some words for you.

The Democrats
OK, we get it, you supported Kerry & Edwards. However, they lost. GET OVER IT! That sticker just shows that you still haven't accepted the victory of the GOP. Your party ran the wrong candidates, plain and simple. You had a prime opportunity to take over the White House from one of the most polarizing presidents in history and you screwed it up. This just shows the ineptitude of your party. Hopefully in 2008 you get it correct and can make amends for the past 10+ years slide into mediocrity.

The Republicans
OK, we get it, you supported George W Bush. The election is over and done with. GET OVER IT! Just because your party & candidate won, doesn't mean he's the best president ever. No, it is pretty obvious that he has made some mistakes. If you hope to keep control of Congress and the White House in 2008 you cannot sit on your laurels and assume the religious-right will carry you to victory. Remember those more moderate (and more sane) members of your party.

OK and another note. Remember all those people who were going to move to Canada in their post-2004 election sorrow? Doesn't that go against what we, as Americans, believe in? I've always been under the opinion that a defeat can lead to future victory. If you Democrats (presumably they are the ones that wanted to move to Canada) move, that just gives the GOP a better chance at victory next time. In all actuality, if you are displeased you should stay and organize and fight so that victory next time is yours. Seriously, this is one of the reasons the Democratic party has been in disarray the past couple of years.
