We Didn't Completely Break Our Democracy Yet

(Free food and free drinks this week for Veterans Day
-- RSVP & details below the weekly message)

The lamest duck invites the coolest kid over to his house,
& though they've disagreed & even dissed one another,
the two play nice in the Oval Office.

In a time of two wars, a veteran loses an election,
to a man who promises change in military direction,
& nobody's worried we'll see tanks circling the Capitol.

From the economy to healthcare to global climate change,
America's making new choices, possibly a leftward swing,
& right-wingers snipe on TV...but no sniping in the streets.

Despite flawed elections, curtailed liberties, a timid press,
corporate interference, corruption, incompetence & fear..
we didn't manage to completely break democracy yet.

Turns out democracy is a little stronger than that after all...

In honor of Veterans Day, this week will be a special DL:
donate gifts or money to our troops & veterans
& get a FREE drink, courtesy of Rudy's, & FREE pizza
sponsored by CREDO Mobile's "End of Bush" parties
provided by l'Allegria Pizza...in the backyard of Rudy's.

Please RSVP so we can bring enough pizza:

Bring phonecards, magazines, DVDs,
non-melting candies, powdered drinks
or a financial donation to veterans advocacy.

Then raise a glass both to the results of the election
& that we had an election...now, that's worth toasting.
