The Rude Pundit: Grief Counselor

The Rude Pundit (http://www.rudepundit.blogspot.com/) has an excellent series on the five stages of grief. Today's installment, "Acceptance" is flat out brilliant. Vugar, but brilliant. Here's an excerpt:

"There’s a certain level at which we need to think about ourselves as insurgents in an occupied country. And, as we all know, no one likes to be occupied. That doesn’t mean violence. It’s a mindset: you are either a collaborator or an insurgent. That's what we need to accept, at the bottom, at the end of this long goddamn stomach churning bipolar week. It's what the Democrats in Congress need to realize: to collaborate is to be a traitor to a cause. The administration wants to steamroll for the next two years. It will treat all opposition as it's about to treat Fallujah: it doesn't matter how much shit you blow up, how much collateral damage is done, as long as its goals are met. What is the goal of our insurgency? To take back our country from its occupiers. And that's a hard, long slog of a battle. When we accept that there's no quick fix, like electing a President, we accept the chore of the next couple of decades."

WARNING to the squeamish, his language is very NSFW

I love the rude pundit. That person speaks for me even though I'm a lady. LOL

He is a voice of truth (a potty mouth gutter talking voice of truth but a voice of truth nonetheless).

My own language has coarsened over the course of the campaign, and isn't likely to get any better.
