It's about fucking time!

Thank god! I will have to change my subtitle but am too lazy to do so right now.

Finally we will have a rational and competent person in the white house again. A man of thought BEFORE action. A critical thinker. A reader.

That he is a Democrat is a bonus. That he is African-American is historic.

I was actually quite pleased with McCain's concession speech. Those supporters of his who booed quite loudly when he first mentioned Obama by name, and a second time when he first mentioned Biden by name, are either morons or assholes, or both. I have to think that McCain is ashamed of a significant portion of his supporters.

The world is breathing a collective sigh of relief and is celebrating!

No doubt the insane racists and far-right ideologues and religious nuts that have been making the rounds on YouTube at McCain rallies, saying outrageous, shameful and hateful things about Obama will be very disappointed and probably will not recognize him as their president. I am not worried. Now they know how so many of us feel when Bush stole the election in 2000. (And again in 2004?) We did not consider him our president either and the country survived.

It's past my bedtime. I don't know if I can fall asleep quickly but I've got to teach early in the morning so I don't have much choice. It's time to get to bed. I'll listen to the Alan Colmes show on the radio as I fall asleep.

It is a good day.
