I'm betting bandwidth records are being smashed worldwide

Official, there are people running down Valencia Street yelling

Somewhere Bill Cunningham and Sean Hannity are having a good cry...

Florida for Obama

They are, outside my window, dancing in the streets in San Francisco

So I have absolutely no excuse for what transpired at my polling station earlier in the day. Nothing eventful, really, just the most important ballot intiative in my lifetime, that's all, decriminalizing small quanties of herb. There on the back of the ballot, sober as a ghost and I fucking missed it.

My condolences to you. I know that no matter what happens now, this will always feel like a small tragedy.

Not to worry choad, my gray haired mother and her conservative friends all voted for decriminalization. Though she really blew my mind when tonight out of the blue she asked me if her mad national flower judging skilz could be useful if she decided to earn some extra retiree income growing medical marijuana on the island.

The deed is done. McCain concedes. The crowd in front of him boos when Obama is mentioned by name and McCain has to admonish them.

if the fucker campaigned like he conceded, he might've won

Melon's is over-whelmed, she has visions of her muslim son ascending to national office.  My natural cynicism is obviously in check.

However she did offer up this for your consideration:

For a country that is often portrayed as a backwards pack of racists, we just elected our first black president by the largest popular vote margin in history (projected). Hell, America managed to elect their first black man before a white woman managed to get the helm. I'm not sure what that says about us, as a people, but we can now say, in America, if you work hard, anything is possible for anyone regardless of race.

No more can the claim be made that our country is run by the white man. For 4 years, you can't blame whitey for anything that goes wrong on a national level. It really is a weight off of the collective shoulders of all the rich and powerful white men. 

Seriously, though. Regardless of the mans politics, Obama did, at least, try and do what was successful for the Democrats of the past. Like Clinton, he started his campaign based on a positive message (hope, change, etc.). Clinton got in with a positive message. Kerry and Gore failed by overshadowing any message they had with a constant barrage of negativity. Yeah, both campaigns went negative, in the end, but Obama still managed to express his positive view for the future and that goes a long way with the folks in the middle.

He sure is a charismatic leader. I can only hope he will be the bipartisan centrist he said he would be, and not be the politician he was in the past.

Um, no.  The country doesn't get off that easy.  It's still run by rich, white men, and race is still a huge factor in people's lives.  This is an amazing, important step, but fuck you for trying that move.  That bullshit is the reason why it isn't over.

Prop 8 is tending towards passage, sorry queers

Y'know how to guarantee US Civil War II right now?

Click-click BOOM

Re CC - nice one Tojo.

I want to hear that as Obama's walk-on music

Did you see that part where I said, "Seriously, though"?

Any clue, at all, why I would put that there? Go ahead, take some time to yourself and think about it for a minute. No, really, take your time. Call a friend or loved one and read them my post, then tell them your reply and then ask them, "so, what do you think he meant by that, 'seriously folks' part?".

Fuck it, I'm gonna go ahead and just tell you. Yeah, I know, it spoils the fun but what the hell.

When I put that "seriously folks" part there, I was indicating that what I had just said, just prior to the "seriously folks" part, was, umm, (brace yourself), not serious?!?!?!?!?

Jesus fucking christ, Tojo. You're so fucking blinded by your own opinions and banalities that you fail to understand anything you read when it is written by someone on your "bad guy" list.

I'm way past feeling sorry for you. I say something completely nice ("anything is possible regardless of race") then throw in a little satire ("whitey is free") and even spell it out for idiots who didn't realize I wasn't serious (by saying, "seriously folks") and you still feel the need to rip my ass because you think that is what I really believe. What do folks have to do for morons like you, say "umm, that last part was 'just kidding', ok, ok? really I was kidding. not serious at all". Is that what it takes to get through to you, Tojo?

Thank god there aren't many people as stupid as you are on the internet.

freak

Seriously, who the fuck cares if gays get married?  Do any of the people voting against it know any gay people?  Jesus fucking Christ, talk about voting on the morality of others...  These people need to get a fucking life....

Amen.

Again, God bless America. Greatest place on Earth. Yeah, our government sucks, it just sucks less than all the rest of them.

Wouldn't it be great if someone got their hands on the Palin home-porn tapes and got them up on the net about now?

Well, Obama also needs to reap the rewards that come from being a Democrat President.

If he doesn't (at the very least) hose one of the Simpson sisters or both the Spears hoes, he'll have lost all his cred with me as a registered Democrat voter. If he wants a 2nd term from me, his pimp hand must be strong.
