How Will You Celebrate the End of Bush's Presidency?


The news the other day about Bush not wanting foreigners to 'seem eager' for the end of his presidency made me think about how 'eager' we actually are.

It's coming up like Christmas, Halloween, your birthday, and losing all your teeth at the same time! You can hardly wait for it to get here! Happy days are here again!

But it doesn't seem enough just to have private celebrations. You and the wife with a cheese platter and two party horns. This ought to be global. It ought to be like the year 2000, with celebrations in every country of the world, like on January 19, with fireworks and concerts, kissing in Time Square, and blimps shining lights all over the place. A "surge" of humanity coming together in common cause, to celebrate and say to Bush with one voice, "Don't write, don't call, you're dead to us."

Have the Dixie Chicks, Neil Young, and any great anti-Bush performer who'd like to get up and kick it into high gear and maybe kick a little dirt in the guy's face as well. A big celebration is what we're envisioning -- maybe call it "Goodriddancepalooza" -- as we guide George W. Bush finally out the door.
