On a more positive note, after a Democrat gets elected POTUS, the Nation 
will probably suffer a large decrease in their circulation base. This is 
bound to happen as it switches roles from being a prominent anti-Bush 
magazine to something that more or less supports the Democratic 
administration. Perhaps the circulation drop will prompt the Nation to 
get more interesting. I doubt it.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming decline in anti-Bush liberal and 
progressive media. It's about time that much of that garbage is taken 
out permanently. This will also probably cut off oxygen to the anti-Bush 
conspiracy movements like the 9/11 truthers. Another positive 
development to look forward to.
