The News: Smugly Happy Edition

Do you ever find yourself in one of those situations where you find out you were right about something? When you know you shouldn’t be happy about that, because you really wanted to be wrong? Yeah, that’s my today. I should not be gloating. I should not be smug. I should be gracious and understanding and offer my sincerest condolences to those who are in a bad way. But…I can’t do it. All I can manage is to offer to help fix the problem on a limited basis, and then sit back, shake my head, giggle, make popcorn, and wait for the fireworks. Because they’re coming. And all I can keep thinking is, “Well, you’ve made your decision…good luck with that!” It might make me a bad person, but it also makes me human. And it will continue to amuse me for at least the next three years.
