Looking into the crystal ball...

So what happens if my nightmares come true and W pulls it out (either with a late October surprise, stolen ballots or a true but close win). What will we be in for during the next Four Years---
Rumsfeld will be out but still very involved in the background. Ashcroft and Ridge will still be there stealing our rights and pushing newer Patriot Act provisions. Wolfowitz - still there. Powell - no way - replaced by Lizard Rice.
Afghanistan and Iraq will be launching pads for our next military plays - Iran in 2005, Syria in '06 and Lebanon in '07. North Korea will no longer be considered a part of the Axis of Evil. Why? W's friend, Reverend Moon, somehow replaces Jong Il as God's designated ruler (Mmmmm - poisoned darts?).
On the home front: Chomsky, Zinn, Moore, Kennedy, Byrd, Dean and Kucinich (my hero) will be put on trial as the DC 7 (hey if Nixon can have his Chicago Seven then W can have his too) and tried for treason and sedition. Me, I'll be in Sweden, Norway or France with my three draft-age sons. Air America and any blogs that do not pledge sovereignty to W will be removed from the air and internets (yes W will demand that we all call it internets). Replacing liberal/progressive/anti-war blogs will be a link to a live cam shot of the skies above Jerusalem with the caption "Waiting for the second coming of God".
Every U.S. citizen (who stays here) will have to take a loyalty oath. Those not taking the oath will be fired from their jobs (if they are lucky enough to be the 80% who have a job in 2005). They will then be deported to the newly established "Treason Prison" of New York City or Boston (hey it could happen - look at "Escape from New York" with Snake Pliskin - Maybe that's the reason for the Big Dig, yaeh undergroug cells). The Yankees will move to Idaho. The Red Sox will be disbanded due to their long hair, facial hair and "dirty" batting helmets. (Okay the last two lines are for my BoSox loving sons).
Hey it could happen. Even Wonkette posted Blue and Red Sox America. What! You think I stole the idea from her. I really did think about this while I was watching last night's game. Hey maybe I am really psychic. Oh no! That would mean W..........
