Whistling past the graveyard? perhaps.

It is 11/6/18. In hours, the polls will open across the United States, and voters will slowly if surely decide the fate of the United States, and to a lesser extent the Western World, for the next two years or possibly more. Traitor Donnie, a ruthless, greedy, self-aggrandizing, egotistical, injury-collecting braggart, liar and bully, has been President of the United States for just under two years. He has damaged our relationships with our allies, alienated our friends, sucked up to dictators and crashed our trade agreements. The total list of things he's done are too numerous to list here, and they are not the point of this post.
All night, I've been posting stuff on Facebook. Stuff to cheer me up. Stuff like : Charlie Chaplin speech in The Great Dictator
Or: Churchill Speech from The Darkest Hour.
Or even : King Henry V Agincourt speech .
Or this one : V for Vendetta Revolution speech
And of course this one : King Elizabeth Speech "Hoist the Colours!"

Then the comment : "Weather for Phoenix AZ : Temp. 60 Degrees F, Feels like "June 5 1944".
Because it really does feel like the night before a big battle.

Then there were some funny videos :
Martian Queen (From Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century) sings "Blues in the Night"

Or her enemy's reply -- "It's Not Unusual" with the borrowed voice of Tom Jones.

I'm an optimist about the elections. I expect the Democratic Party to gain seats in the House and Senate. Optimally they will take both legislative bodies. But, I'm human. I have moments of doubt. Moments of needing some morale boosting. So, I turned to Youtube.
See you after the Elections. GO VOTE!
