So Bush won...

Like a lot of people on this planet, I was not very happy about that.

I remember waking up when they were counting Ohio votes, Kerry was losing, and 8 hours after it was done, 4 more years. Good Job Georges. I had just met an englishman pro-bush the day before. He was a the first I have ever see. But we didn't talk about the election. From europe US presidential election look like a sport events or actually more like a big Wrestling events. 

Spectacular, and shallow.

With a lot of people shouting every where. And a lot of stupid stories. And testosterone . It is hard to take it seriously. I found that Kerry, reporting for duty at the democrat convention was a very funny moment. He looked as an idiot playing soldier. It was even funnier than Bush landing from this plane in pilot suit. 

Unlike WWE, this election has strong consequences outside US border. As a matter of fact, I don't really care if gay can get married or no in US. It has nothing to do with me. But like most of the people on this small earth, I have to live with Mighty W. And like them, I was voiceless for this particular calling. 

Unlike a lot of other europeans, I don't think that Georges is stupid. It doesn't make sense to believe that a guy who became US president after becoming governor of Texas in less than 10 years is stupid. US choosed their president they wanted and they deserve it. Even if as a progressive, it is hard to believe that the human cost will not be high and I'm very uncomfortable with a lot of republican values, european have european issues to solve and we should let US solve their own problem ...even if it means seeing the ocean getting larger.

There will be shuttles.
