The Twilight Zone

Well, well, well Antoinette,

Buck up America. We've survived far worse than an election. I know some people woke up having won, others woke up needing to whine, but one thing is sure....we all need a big glass of wine. Either you lost, or you think you won, but perhaps you lost.... a pyrrhic victory maybe. Well Chicken Little,  it may seem like the sky has fallen, but this is the U.S. of A and we've overcome far greater challenges than Liar, Liar, Pantsuit on fire and a lampoonish Billionaire with an orange hair-don't. We used to have political figures who fought duels, senators carrying knives and guns, and congressmen caning each other in the chambers. We've survived civil war, World Wars, a Cold War, the Great Depression and even deflategate. Now we just have politicians who lie, cheat, fleece and are rude...we don't need to duck and cover, we just need a safe space from what hurt our feelings and a magnum of our favorite wine to get us through. My advice to the newly elected...leave the guns and canes at home and bring a bottle of wine to share across the aisle. Bring amity, not enmity. Be humble in victory, gracious in defeat and remember there are no Republicans and Democrats in the foxhole, just Americans and hopefully a nice cabernet! Also, the AMA and CDC have said that though normally you should avoid alcohol when you have severe acid reflux, wine is the exception! In fact, a tawny port might be the solution, it's fortified and you're more likely to sleep for 4 years. Rinse your mouth, keep the contents of your stomach to yourself, soothe your headache and prepare yourself for the fifth dimension...a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity...the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition...This is the dimension of imagination, otherwise known as are you F'ing kidding me...you are about to enter the Twilight Zone. The good thing about the 5th dimension though is that it means it's 5:00, 2020 somewhere in the universe. ..time to stop whining and start WINE'ING with a capital "Zen"fandel. Drink some harmony, quell your stomach, and remember we followed the last worst president in history (Buchanan) with maybe the best...Honest Abe! Hang on baby Jesus, it's about to get bumpy.
