Elisabeth Kubler-Ross wrote a seminal book, "On Death And Dying", about
the
five stages of dying in humans. Her paradigm can be usefully extended to
describe the demise of human groups. The ongoing death of the Democratic
party, while extremely amusing and gratifying, is also of scientific
interest.

To wit, Ms Kubler-Ross' five stages are..., Denial, Anger, Bargaining,
Depression, and Acceptance.

* Denial: After Nov 2 the Democrats squealed, stamped their feet and
shrieked that they really *WEREN'T* dying. That it was all a robbery . An
enormous fraud perpetrated by DIEBOLD = HITLER = HALIBURTON = BUSH = SATAN
=
CHENEY = Blah, blah, blah.

* Anger: Now these beneath contempt cesspool algae are slowly slipping
into
the "anger" stage. Like, "we're gonna get you back in 2008 by running
Hildabeast! We'll show *you*. Or, "We'll make Howard Dean head of the DNC.
Then you'll get a taste of some strong medicine!" The fever of their
terminal disease has obviously made them delirious.

* Bargaining: Well, they haven't even gotten this far yet. But I predict
that in the next few weeks, as they more fully realize their total
isolation
from power and their status as political cockroaches they will behave as
follows.

Oh, PLEEEAAZE, President Bush Sir! We were only following our noble
consciences. And maybe trying just a little bit to protect our deadbeat,
dope addled, gubmint tit sucking, AIDS riddled, freeloader life styles.
PLEEEAAZE, President Bush Sir. Let us re-join the political process. We'll
be better this time - we PROMISE!! PLEEEAAZE, President Bush Sir, we don't
want to DIE! We're AFRAID!!


HEEHEHEHE!! It is soooo much fun watching them die.
