Election Fatigue

Base10 must admit that he's lost some interest in blogging. The election and it's aftermath has simply made him tired. Let the President settle into his new term for a while. He does need to formulate his plans to kill little Palestinian children while singing Chiristian fundamentalist hymns. That takes much effort so you have to figure that Bush will probably take off this weekend.

What is there to comment on? Kerry conceeds--blah blah blah. One America--blah blah blah. Base10 can now devote himself to tech websites for the next four years and snipe at Bush from the right.

Well maybe it's not completely over. Check out today's Best of the Web. Taranto has a good collection of quotes from Democrats ranging from depression to desperation. Also in the Journal, check out Peggy Noonan's first column back from the campaign. It's certainly a nice read. Who else but Peggy Noonan could get away with this quote:

[T]he yeomen of the blogosphere and AM radio and the Internet took them down. It was to me a great historical development in the history of politics in America. It was Agincourt. It was the yeomen of King Harry taking down the French aristocracy with new technology and rough guts. God bless the pajama-clad yeomen of America.

IMAO is rapidly becoming an everyday read for Base10. Check out this Bush cartoon (with further explanation here).

There were a couple of interesting and terrifying items on Drudge. First, the terrifying. An Air National Guard plane strafed a public school in New Jersey. By mistake we hope. Aparently the pilot was doing a night training drill and was supposed to fire at a target on a firing range miles away. The first reaction you have to this is, "Thank God it was at night so no students were hurt." I like to think that had it been broad daylight, the pilot would have seen that he was shooting up a school.

Not quite as terrifying, but somewhat disturbing, photos that appeared on CNN depicting George and Laura Bush after the election were slugged "moron.jpg" and "asshole.jpg" on CNN's website. But no, no one at CNN is biased.

And then there's this:

"Israel and Palestinians brace for worst with Arafat 'brain dead'" - AFP. You would think that since the French have always supported Arafat, they wouldn't resort to such petty name-calling.
