Barack Obama Wins US Presidency
Last night, around 11pm, all the major networks announced that Senator Barack Obama had won the election. Soon after, Senator McCain conceded. There were no crazy partisan court hearings, just a simple election. This is your chance to talk about it and what it means for the future of our nation.
A fellow bar patron put it best:
"BLUE TEAM WINS"
I think Washington D.C. will become a radioactive wasteland and the survivors will spend their waking hours hunting mutant ants in collapsed subways.
Oh, wait. My copy of Fallout 3 arrived yesterday and that's all I can think about.
Thoroughly, and decisively, re-arranged.
Why? Did he vote?

Oh, there was an election?
This Scot, for one, welcomes our Democraticly elected African-American overlord :D

Yup! he voted for his son, Obama... :D

This was easily the best election I ever participated in. Mostly because of Ron Paul. He opened my eyes to real liberty and true freedoms, and I've been a changed person man ever since. I'm not going to take crap from the two parties sitting down anymore, and I have real hope for this country, that someday we all might really be free from the federal government. I was also exposed to Ayn Rand and read her fiction, and really enjoyed it.
I wrote Ron Paul in, and I was beyond happy the rest of the day. It honestly felt awesome to vote for someone that I honestly believe in, an opportunity I've never taken before.

all of the campaign ads so I can slowly wean myself off instead of going cold turkey.
Skim MLK?
I was writing joystick handling code on a Ubuntu install running under VMware. Truly, a momentous occasion.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
What's his name again? Sadam Hussain Obama Bin Laden or something. Now if that ain't a Muslim name I don't know what is. America is meant to be a Christian country. It says so right there in the First Amendment, and it was that way back when we were founded by Jey-sus in 0AD. And now he's goin' to make an Oath on the Koran, change us all into Muslims and move the US to the middle east and we'll all have to join Al Quaeda and blow ourselves up. I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Kent Brockman: I've said it before and I'll say it again: democracy simply doesn't work.

Well, I don't wanna' get all "tit-for-tat" here with that "love it or leave it" crap *I've* had to listen to for far too long. Oh, wait. Yes I do.
Think GW Bu$h ever DREAMED he'd be THIS much of a uniter? Mwahahahahahahahaha!
"Democracy." It's just a slogan.
Why would we begin the prayer after it has been answered?

Lagom? lol, first time ever I've seen the word spread outside of Sweden :D
It's finally happening! After hundreds of years borrowing english, latin, german and french words our time has come! If only we built some new castles to! (On that topic, how nice to know we are shutting down all our military really fast nowadays while the russians are mobilising (though probably not to invade us :D))
Somewhat off-topic I know, but I can handle the negative moderation for spreading this awesome news about how we'll take over the world thru lagom!
...welcome our new black, arab, muslim, atheist, socialist, communist, not-born-in-america, terrorist, redistributionist-in-chief overlord.
LOL!
Seriously, from all of us in fake America to all of you in real America, thanks for the laughs...and the winks. Let's not forget the winks.
Go Obama!
Yes, it does.
My favorite thing to hear on Fox was a discussion going on to do with the state of the economy, and how "we are only now seeing the full effects of the Clinton presidency". I about fell out of my chair.
I do realize that change cannot be immediate, but there are limits. Considering how long we've had a Bush for president, continuing to blame the past just flies in the face of all reason.
Now it still concerns me to stand by and watch just how much more damage the Lame Duck can do before the clean-up crew moves in.

I have this image in my mind of Dubya, on January 19th, starting "police actions" in about 20 countries, and saying, "Let's see him fix this!"

God? God had nothing to do with it. Thank Bush.

It's funny, though... Obama is quite possibly the biggest con man I've ever seen. I have great admiration for his skills at deceiving people, even as I'm disgusted with my fellow countrymen for being taken in by a swindler so easily. Truly an exemplary politician, even if he is a bad statesman.
Why would you be surprised? Weren't we taken by Clinton just as easily in the 90's?
Yeah, and look how bad the Clinton years were for this country...
Oh, wait...

Blaming Bush will only work for so long.
Want to bet?
Blaming Hoover worked for FDR's entire reign.

Cool, who is it? ;)
This is the sig that says NI (again)
Wow. Racism, sexism, class warfare, and teen parenthood. All in two and a half paragraphs.
You are some kind of trolling GOD.

Yeah years from now someone needs to ask Obama what he was doing when Rogerborg was writing joystick handling code on a Ubuntu install running under VMware.
These guys are Aryan nation kind of folks... I am dead serious here. Check out the number of women that are blond. You can't get away from it. Kind of scary actually...
Oh shit! 99% of my porn collection is white supremacist?

We have the right to bare arms. I don't think anyone is trying to infringe on your right to wear a short-sleeved shirt.

See? We aren't ALL cross burning rednecks!
However if you think we are going to start using less oil, stop polluting, pay off our credit cards, learn French, and stop bombing smaller nations, think again.
Oh yeah, we could use about $700,000,000,000 right about now.... I won't bother to convert that figure to yen or euro.
I am very small, utmostly microscopic.
No, he's not.
