Nice, will keep an eye on it here at work.. thanks for the linkage.

Well, heck, I’d say you ‘Statesiders’ have yourselves a new POTUS.

Cheers, weez!
The Dem’s Youth Vote (18-29 y.o.) seems way up — That’s gotta be a good sign.

Liberal Bourbon, Delta blues on NPR, grins on the weez, t’sa good day.

Thanks fellas.

Obama’s victory speech was nothing short of inspiring, hairs-up on the back of the neck sort of stuff. I’d like to believe it’s Camelot II but I’m a little too old for that. We’ve nowhere to go but up.

Let’s see how quiet King G can be until 20 January.

holy shit, Obama’s going to carry Indiana!

Barack Obama 50% 1,352,356
John McCain 49% 1,329,370

Unbelievable. You gotta figure that this is the place where the local KKK got pissy with me in 1978 because I wouldn’t join up. Obama still didn’t win rural places, in the past known for deeply racist beliefs and activity, like Hancock & Tipton counties, but he’s still going to win the state.

Naturally, Martin Luther King is being mentioned a lot in Aussie news coverage of the Obama victory. However, if I hear one more Aussie journalist refer to Dr Martin Luther King, Jr as ‘Luther-King’ I’m going to scream. ‘Luther’ was Dr King’s middle name, not a hyphenated portion of his surname. C’mon guys, get it right.

What the hell, Weez!?! I thought I could count on a write-in vote from you, but apparently not.

Cam, the problem was your running mate showed up one day with a head full of ibogaine and a ‘Tickle Me Elmo’ doll impaled on a bayonet. AND I’m not so sure about your PhD from ‘The University of the Universe.’ You’ll get your chance, young man, you’ll get your chance…

Highlight of my day of being a voter advocate in Indiana:

At two minutes before 6:00 pm a car came skidding to a stop in the parking lot of the polling place. Inside the car was a middle aged woman driving and a younger woman in the passenger seat, a mother and daugther. The windows on the car were up, but we could hear the mother screaming, “Get Your Ass Out Of This Car And Get In There And VOTE!.” The younger woman slowly got out of the car and sauntered toward the door. The poll workers, who had come outside to start taking down the signs, all waved her in calling, “Come on! Get in here!” When the daughter came back out after voting, the mother said, “What Were You Thinking? This Is Indiana! Every Vote Counts!”

And at the end of the day of keeping my opinions to myself I was finally able to say, “Let’s go home and watch Obama win!”

Forgive my overuse of exclamation points. It really was an exclamation point kind of day.

magic stuff, rainie, thanks for that. 🙂

And yeah, what WAS she thinking? 😆
