Still, I'm very disconcerted by the popular vote being so close. WHY IS IT SO CLOSE!?

What issues have these people been looking at?

It's the same question I've been asking from the other side of the spectrum. I could go off on a long winded tangent listing all of them, but in an effort to save myself from being the brunt of embarassment which I've been in the past, I'll save it.

It can't verb him a verb that doesn't exist. Besides, most people aren't rich, they don't care about the rich, and a lot of not rich people hate the rich for being rich. The only people that are really gonna get that upset over it are people who'd vote McCain simply because he's Republican.

But the rich employ the poor and middle class, so any tax increases on them will eventually find their way to...well...us.

Indeed! Make the rich pay more, and they'll charge us more for gas, food, etc! Tax them more? Lay some people off!

Trickledown economics has been fairly well proven to be a complete fiction.

I think that $750 billion that the banks kept was a pretty good indication of that.

West coast polls just closed. All stations pretty much projecting Obama as the winner with a little under a bajillion electoral votes. The U.S. has its first black president, guess I have to go raid the newspaper stand for posterity tomorrow.

Seriously though, I know I argued against most of you guys this entire race, but congratulations. I'm actually excited to see what's going to come of all this.

CNN says Obama won. 297, and votes aren't done in all the states. Woot?

ironymaster · 11-04-2008, 11:10 PM

At any rate, this might be an interesting period of time.

Dear USA,
Thanks for doing the right thing.

Sincerely,
Rest of the World

Thank Flying Spaghetti Monster.
So now that the world has been saved by the electoral process, who else will be watching the Daily Show Rerun? I missed most of it because of work.

FANFUCKING TABULOUS.
also, my concern about Barack's damn near sure election were allayed by the closeness of the election.
