Magnanimous Defeat

John Perry Barlow’s post election essay helps to put things into perspecitive, post-electionwise: Magnanimous Defeat

Meanwhile, Jesus’ General helpfullly passes along a link to the Theocracy Mentorship Program, which puts US Blue bloggers together with Iranian bloggers to get survival tips for living mostly free under a theocracy.

“The key to self-immolation is location, location, location. I recommend shopping centers or busy open parks. If you intend to go out in flames, make sure people see it.”

As for me, I’ve been irrevocably contaminated, so I’ll check into some of the fine groups listed at the Sanctum of Scorpius (woo! a Farscape fan site with politics too!) and think about how I can contribute now toward the future. So far, Democracy for America looks like a good place to start.

UPDATE: In retrospect, the self-immolation joke just became a bitmore sad than funny.
