One day in 2005, an old man walks up to the front gate of the White House and tells the Marine on guard "I'd like to speak with President Kerry, please."
The Marine says "Sir, John Kerry is not the President. He didn't win the election in 2004. George W. Bush is the President." The old man smiles, says "Thank you", and walks away.
The next day, the very same old man walks up to the gate and again asks the Marine if he can speak to President Kerry. The Marine, a bit incredulous by this point, grits his teeth and says "Sir, just exactly like I told you yesterday, John Kerry didn't win the 2004 election, and he isn't the President. George W. Bush is the President. Alright?"
Again, the old man just nods, smiles, thanks the Marine, and walks away.
Finally, on the third day, the SAME man approaches the Marine and asks him a third time if he could please speak to President Kerry. The Marine's patience has worn thin, and he loses his temper and shouts at the man "Sir, just like I told you yesterday, and the day before that, JOHN KERRY LOST THE 2004 ELECTION AND HE IS NOT THE PRESIDENT! GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE PRESIDENT!"
The old man simply smiles and says "Oh young man, I know all that perfectly well. I just like hearing you say it out loud, that's all." :) :) :) :)

Update: Bush has won, Kerry has conceded, and it's all over. All of the Rock the Vote, bribing college students with t-shirts and ramen noodles, every modern musician writing a song for the occasion, and the massive drive for youth voter turnout has resulted in a GREATER deficit than in the 2000 election, when the Libs put out no effort.
Must be kinda disconcerting to know that Bush has entered the hallowed league of the Presidents who earned 51% of the popular vote. That includes your very own JFK (and not many others).
Speaking of which, the Republicans have also extended and solidified their control of both the House and Senate by picking up several additional seats in both.
And to ice the cake, Tom Daschle also has lost his Senate seat to a Republican, and the Senate seat that John Edwards vacated to run for VP has been won by a Republican as well.
Maybe they can get a job at Burger King together.
