history
a poor member of the blogosphere i’d be, were i remiss in weighing in on yesterday’s historic election (yes, yes…would have been historic regardless. shut up). actually, i’ve already been docked 150 blogging points and an additional 50 general internet points for waiting till the afternoon. as opposed to posting at, say, 1AM EST.
so, let me just say: thank the god, goddess, ancestor spirt, nature spirt or ineffable, undefined universal spiritual being of your choice the election swung to obama. you may notice i’m not fervantly political. however, given the state of the nation right now, had the vote gone republican, again, i’d have given expatiriation a serious consideration. policies, ideologies, theologies, philosophies and any other -ology and -sophosy aside, the current ruling party has fucked up. seriously fucked up. whomever breaks it does not get to fix it.
so, we leave steering through what are surely the darkest times of my life: war galore and the global economy imploding (to give the highlights), to a new captain. i say good. the onion sums it up nicely, as usual.
in other news, residents of CT remained sensible and did not vote to let a mob rewrite the state’s constitution (mostly because the idea of gays marrying and having some measure of happiness freaks them out). good news as well. true democracy is neither efficient, nor particularly desireable. that’s why we have a representative republic. works better.
