Let the begrudging acceptance phase of healing begin…If and when Smithers can prove to Burns that Romney really, truly lost the election! Good things did come of the election. For example: Springfield's Republican Headquarters now bears a sign…”Rape NOW Bad.” Baby steps people, with baby steps they will evolve. However, if you're a 'glass half empty' gal like me, (I prefer the term realist) the sign is nothing more than an attempt to court the female vote in four years. ..Much in the same way that Mitt Romney courted Latinos with a spray tan.
Financial expert Mr. Burns has volunteered to explain the 'fiscal cliff.' It's all very complicated, but bear in mind – the rich must be given what they want, lest they drive over the cliff and start a chain reaction which affects us all negatively ! A quick gander at the Springfield Billionaire's Club on election night also bears out Burn's statement that that rich people feel things more deeply than the common man. (they certainly feel defeat, and the pain of parting with four more percentage points in taxes!) This of course, only applies to the money kept in this country – a mere spit in the ocean, yet they feel the loss deeply and keenly. ”
