Can We Get Back to the Civil War, Now?

Jim Treacher links to a great comment at Tim Blair's, and in the process proposes marriage (quite understandably).

I, too, find this "Dear 48" stuff to be cringe-worthy. Low-cost graciousness from the crowd that, for all I know, were among the people apologizing to the world for George Bush's two victories. This is just some treacly icing spread over a six-layer turd cake; no thanks.

Update: Besides, just exactly what is it the "52's" are saying? "No hard feelings about those cheap rabbit punches, are there 48's? I'm sure a little thing like a cerebral hemorrhage isn't going to stop you all from joining us in tearing down this rat-trap of a country and transforming it into a big honkin' Cuba, right? Why, we'll even let you keep your guns! (No, not the Bushmasters and the Glocks; but you can hang on to that old single-shot black-powder rifle - just remember to turn it in at the local police station armory at the end of the day)."

Update II: Ok, put your coffee down - Gently! T-h-a-t-'s right - click on this link, and behold one of the funniest headlines of the year. (H/T: Babalu)

Update III: Winning over the media? Mission accomplished!

TW: polingdo. What dead Democrats do to support the party.

The MS-media has the job ahead of them in winning back the 48!
Mission Impossible?
They are the ones who have sunk to Pali levels of credibility.

By the way, do you tell the 52s that once you count everyone who stayed home you get like...

Knowing his opening moves will be widely scrutinized, Obama tried to roll back expectations on election night.

"Our climb will be steep," he said. "We may not get there in one year or even in one term."


Good Grief. He's not even in office yet and he's already campaigning for a second term. I predict we've got four years of lovely speeches ahead and not much else we're going to like.

Rebecca: he forgot to add "I may not get there with you ..."
