I assume I'm not the only Kerry supporter in the vast and impossibly liberal blogosphere who has been accused of exaggerating the implications of the election. Perhaps I did. I hope I did. But I don't really think that the argument to make is this: "If you think Bush's America is bad, you should check out [insert horrible, likely dark-complected country here.]"

One time I was having sex with a woman. I gazed down to behold her impossible beauty, to see her face racked with unspeakable ecstasy. When my eyes settled on her, that's not what I found, however. She looked back at me with equal parts disdain, disinterest, and displeasure. I realized at that moment that my ministrations were perhaps not what she'd hope they'd be. In an effort to assuage her, I said, "If you think this is bad, you should sleep with your sister!"

It didn't seem to make her feel any better.
