There's nothing to be said about the joyousness of Barack Hussein Obama's resounding thwomp of John McCain that has not already been said by every journalist and pundit and blogger on earth (yes, on earth, not just in America. Foreigners are ecstatic that we finally pulled our heads out of our collective ass and voted for the smart guy for once.) But a few things come to mind:
1. Every time something goes wrong, I think of the fact that Barack Obama will soon be president and my mood gets a little better.
2. I think it's time for me to take a little siesta from politics. At least until Inauguration Day.
3. That point aside, I have a very important question for you all. When you think of the fact that after eight long, dark years, Obama made it to the White House, and you think of the future, what song comes to mind? I'm making a CD chronicling the Bush presidency, and I need something really good to end it with. I know you guys are not big commenters, but please enlighten me if you have a suggestion. Thoughts on other songs that bring to mind other key moments in the Bush presidency are welcome as well.
4. Obama represents a lot of things to a lot of people. He comes into the presidency after several months of promising everything up to the receding of the of the oceans, and is about to step up to govern a giant clusterfuck. I hope he doesn't disappoint us too much.
