Spawn's dad

I don't know how many times I've been overcome by tears of joy, relief and pride today. Many.

they make pills for that

but bobbob said people in his age group don't see race as an issue.

One can find exceptions to any rule, but polls show that it is far less an issue

on a whole for his age group than it ever has been.

Of course there's a school of thought that would say we don't put it behind us until we put it behind us. I'm not sure when that happens

or who decides, but I sure hope we don't get four years of belittling everthing the guy does....

first black president to end a war

first black president to invade a country

first black president to pardon a turkey

first black president to light the white house christmas tree

The point really was that race wasn't a factor in why he was elected, but that he was simply better.

Once at a show at the Casbah in San Diego, Watt's drummer's pedal busted, and Watt asked if anyone in the crowd had a pedal. One guy spoke up, he said he lived down the street and could be back with one in ten minutes. Show stopped, Watt sat down and chatted with a bunch of us. Guy came back with the pedal, everyone cheered, show resumed. Punk!

when I saw the ergs a few weeks back (in some abandoned warehouse in Williamsburg) the stage that was built an hour before the show collapsed twice, and the show stopped for repairs. DIY still exists.

I find it interesting the Obama distinctly avoided appealing to a racial factor in this campaign. Now, it is almost all the media can talk about.

62% of those polled say the economy was the number 1 issue. Everything else was a distant second. I'm pretty sure people were more comfortable with his economic plan. I really didn't see anything that indicated people said "lets give the black guy a shot to fix it...." Like an episode of Weeds: Obama turns the West Wing into a grow house.

Mike Watt is tremendous in Our Band Could Be Your Life and American Hardcore.

my blog header?

No, I'm a friend of the Daleks.

that's kind of absurdly racist.

interestingly enough, being the most powerful nation on the planet, every time we elect a president we make history.

maybe you can learn something from the guy we elected and be a uniter and not a divider?

you can all kiss my big black ass

Well, the guy I wanted to win, won, so I suppose in that regard I'm happy

to be part of the back slapping majority for a change. Still, if I never voted

again where I live it would never change the outcome of the election here;

l live firmly in a blue state. Just the same, I don't quite share the enthusiasm

that this signifies enormous change for us. I'm a more cautious wait and see type.

More telling than the ass kicking in the electoral college is the percentage

split on the popular vote....52% to 47%....we're still just this side or that

side of the middle. Significant social change is necessary and the new

administration has a small window to do things that will help push us that way

before things slow down and folks start politicking again for the mid-term elections.

The economy is still effed; we're still fighting two wars; we have huge health

care, poverty and environmental issues. So out with the awful old, and in with

the new and while I'm skeptical that our political system is capable of actually

fixing our problems it's what we got for now.

What the hell did everyone in MO go to sleep? Where's the decision?

Great article, but what would have happened if young Alexander hit the wrong icon/vote button on the screen?

I bet if we all quote the full article we can crash the board.

As a rule if I get called by a particular campaign I always vote for the opposition.

The world ends tonight.

Don't sweat it... in no time there'll be the broken campaign promises thread.

No, but I'm still wearing the jeans, even with holes. There are a couple more thin spots that could bust out at any time.

Pics?

Obama would approve... Did you see his shoes?

This day is not moving fast enough for me.

Did you tear any more clothing?

was in line at 6:45, out by 7:50, not too bad

 

giddyup.

Wrong thread

just another day to me, so listening to the new two cow garage.

a day off would adversly effect turnout as people would opt for a four day weekend. P

and I think we finally have a handle on the long line stories....it's a get out of work/school free card. I'd make her send a picture

of herself in the long line.

Did spawn vote too?

twice! in both his dead grand parent's names!!!!1

Sarah was hoping for a 3 hour wait when she went at 7 with her dad.

That's the time limit her school is giving as an excused tardy today.

that's fucking retarded

We walked right in and voted; no wait at all.

I wouldn't wait five hours on line for anything.
