PED Strikes

23/6 has an opinion piece describing what they’re calling PED (Post Election Depression), an affliction, they assure me, is untreatable, for the following reasons:

Barack Obama is better than us. We’ve analyzed our lives from every possible angle, and from no vantage point do we win. He is smarter than us, and more even-tempered. His marriage is stronger and his children are more adorable (our child just turned 2, and he bites.) Barack works out, he can do chin ups and he surfs. He can discuss his tax plan with any old plumber on the street. He is funny. Not just “funny for a politician”, but actually funny. He went to two Ivy Leagues universities and then took a low-paying job that helped people. We dropped out of several community colleges and then telemarketed, which, if we recall, exploited the elderly.

Even sadder?  I don’t even have a kid.

So where do you go for cheering-up?  The same site, of course, where the comic strip “Get Your War On” has now become a weekly animated video series.  This week, it’s called “New World Order.”

This would, of course, be funnier if I hadn’t had a conversation with my father yesterday where he alerted me to the “fact” that Barack Obama is going to repeal the First Amendment and start taxing bullets so that gun-owners won’t be able to afford to fight back.
