My entire adolescence was spent under Bush (not American - but the USA exerts a lot of influence on Ireland, where I live). My list of political concerns in the past eight years had been topped by "I hope Ireland stays neutral if shit hits the fan".

No longer. Because we're not ruled by the warmongering Idiot-King any more. We're free. And I'm proud to say I hated that bastard from the very start to the bitter end.

Well, thankfully, the end didn't turn out to be bitter.
