Wrong again. Thank God!

I don't know what to say. It still seems like a dream. This won't be a real Daggy kind of post. No military in the streets. No e-voting machine warnings. No shadow government conspiracy theories. I'm too jazzed and amazed. Something good happened. Monumentally good! I think we just witnessed a country moving forward: truly seeing a man's character and not the color of his skin. Or was it just because I predicted the other guy would win? (remember my abhorrent prediction record) It appears that a majority of the U.S. voters have made MLK Jr.'s dream come true. It fills me with such hope. When my sons call me me to say they are moved, feel patriotic, and feel a sense of pride having actively taken part part in our democratic process it just makes me well up. I'm sure it helps that we all backed the winner. The winner who taught constitutional law, graduated first in his class at Harvard, and holds politically progressive ideas instead of neo-con might makes right ideas . . . prefers the end of war instead of war profiteering . . . prefers equal rights for all and not constitutional amendments to ban same sex marriages . . . believes all Americans have the unalienable right to life, liberty , and the pursuit of happiness and not just the upper 1% . . . wants to give back civil liberties instead of stripping them away . . . thinks that you can disagree with him without actually supporting terrorists . . .wants to unite our country and not divide us by saying you're either with us or against us . . . sees problems and wants to address them instead of pretending like everything is fine if we just don't ask questions. . . .and best of all, wants to help rebuild a middle class instead of destroying it.

Simply remarkable. Even if he is only a figure head and won't be able to get done all that he promised, his election is such a huge step in the right direction. I mean the man can actually speak in complete sentences and not make up words that don't exist. How refreshing! And let's not forget(because this is no small detail) he will more than likely get to nominate 2 or maybe even 3 Supreme court justices! Hooray!! Balance. Oh sweet sweet balance! I hope his first nominee is a 30-35 year old liberal woman judge with radical leftist affiliations, who legislates from the bench, had two or three abortions, and is a professed atheist.

Also . . .(snicker) Sarah Palin has to go back to Alaska. Bye bye Brainiac. (I'm not as cool as Obama, I can be shitty) When I saw her crying during McCain's concession speech I don't think it was because they didn't win. I think it was because she knows she has to go back to Alaska. She was on Saturday Night Live for crying out loud. She's tasted celebrity and that shit's hard to give up.

Now all the Right Wing talk show hosts will have 4 years of trying to dig up whatever new dirt they can on Obama. Apparently Ayers, Wright, Resko, and Khalidi weren't enough to keep him out of the White House. Not even accusing him of wanting to gas Jews. Do you suppose we've seen the last of Joe the Plumber as well? One can only hope. I guess they could always find and intern with good oral skills to disgrace and embarrass Obama. Then try to impeach him for lying about the relationship. Just for the entertainment value . . .I hope it's a white girl. Cable news ratings go up when a blond haired white girl is involved in some kind of scandal.

Poor poor president elect, I do not envy you. The mess you've inherited can only be compared to FDR's 1st term. Although he at least had a massive manufacturing base to work with. You on the other hand get the largest budget deficit in the history of our country, the largest national debt in history, the largest out sourcing of jobs in history, the worst environmental pending disaster in out 232 years, the worst financial institution disaster in history, a infra structure much need of repair, a health insurance crisis like never before, a frozen credit market, a terribly depressed housing market, and last but certainly not least a considerable amount of radical white supremacist whack jobs that would like nothing more than to see you . . .well you know.

You have guts Mr. President. You have brains, guts, and more balls than all the Brunswick Lanes in the Midwest.

Indiana turned blue!! Indiana!!!! The comet should hit any day now.

Fox News was hysterical tonight. The forlorn look on all their faces as they had to report that Barack was winning was priceless. When they had to say Obama won, you could have heard a pin drop. The only moment when they spoke glowingly was when the were commenting on how gracious McCain was giving his concession speech. I almost vomited when the architect Karl Rove tried to put a positive spin on the election acting as if he thought this was good for America. Note to Karl: It is good for America but, when you did everything in your power to prevent it then act as if you're kinda of glad it happened . . . . You could at least have the decency to act perturbed. Your side lost!!! You and your Rove clones under handed robo calls and guilt by association smears failed!!! Quit trying to glom off our side's defeat of you! Pond scum.

So, America there just might be hope for us yet. I'm a big fan of our new president . . .at least for now. After Mr. Obama takes office, I'll give him a few months or so to get his feet wet before getting too critical, but be forewarned Mr. President elect , if you don't start kicking ass and taking names in a timely fashion - DaG will turn on you like apple cider left out in the sun.
