Drink.

You have reasons.

Drink to forget.

Drink to forget that your 401K is now a dollar-three-eighty-K.

Drink to forget that job you don’t have any more, or the one you won’t get because it no longer exists, or the one your husband/wife/son/daughter/father/mother/friend just lost.

Drink to forget your employer, the company that is gone with the wind.

Drink to forget your house, the one you don’t have any more.

Drink to dedicate the refrigerator box that is your new home.

Drink to forget the lives lost, twisted, mangled, and wasted in the Glorious and Patriotic War for a Lie in Iraq.

Drink to forget torture, betrayal, concentration camps, duplicity, and doltishness.

Drink to celebrate.

Drink to celebrate January 20, 2009.

Drink to celebrate competence, steadiness, and thoughtfulness.

Drink to celebrate the elevation of idea over ideology, the general welfare over General Confusion (and his entire staff).

Drink to celebrate hope over hostility, selflessness over selfishness.

Drink to celebrate the blood, sacrifice, and ideals of the Founders.

Drink to celebrate the Constitution of the United States of America.

Drink to celebrate the people of the United States of America, who, with many false starts, much backing and filling, many errors, sidetrips, and distractions, somehow usually, over the generations, ultimately figure out the difference between right and wrong.
