Ditch the pessimism, gang

An important number of people have expressed a bitter disappointment because the Senate killed off any hope of background checks in order to purchase firearms.  This pessimism is undue.

Many a war has been won even though a battle or two have been lost; losing battles is inevitable, but this is a war that is going to be won in the long run.

Why?  Well, among other things, the senators (aka, whores) who have been bought by the arms industry (aka, the  NRA) have been shown up in all their whoredom for the world to see and contemplate with dismay and disgust.  You can find out which lady of the night voted which way by checking it out on Internet and then you can express your opinion that some of them aint worth two bits.  And you know how low a two-bit lady of the night is!

But popular pressure aside, there is even more reason for hope.  I mean, come on, when one of the principal spokespersons for the arms industry cause is someone of the intellectual stature of Sarah Palin, what have you got to lose?  This lady, though not necessarily of the night, didn't know that North and South Korea were two countries until someone on McCain's team clued her in.

Oh, no, this war aint done by a long shot!
