We have little to celebrate tomorrow

for all the good people and good fortune we are blessed to have in this country, it seems the height of denial to be celebrating the fact that all of it is poised on the brink of disaster... unless there's a rabbit ready to pop out of a hat somewhere, tomorrow can only serve as an occasion to grieve over all we've lost (and are continuing to lose, even as i write this)...
