Obama/Biden Win!

Congratulations to Barack Obama and Joe Biden on winning the election! Finally, the US has a bright light ahead after 8 miserable and failed years of Republican(t) (mis)leadership. President Obama will be the first African-American President in this country, the 44th President in our great country's history.

Let the change for the better begin.

And you know what the funnest part of watching the election coverage was? It was watching this all unfold on right-wing Fox Televsion. It was a complete joy watching every one of the Fox TV announcers swallowing hard and having to declare Obama the Democrat the winner. They still didn't have anything positive to say about of him, of course, but whatever. They're a bunch of backward-ass tools, anyway.

Did You Know Tuesday

Did you know that the first US election was held in 1789? This is the only election to have been held in an odd-numbered year. George Washington won this election (the first of his two terms) and John Adams was his Vice President.

Now that you know this....GO OUT AND VOTE!

Monday Morning Chuckle

Cruising through Bangor last week I saw this funny nod to the old Burma Shave road-sign ads. The person who did this had a good sense of humor using campaign signs.

For those wondering what the hell the whole Burma Shave sign-thing is about, learn more here. (Yes, it pre-dated me too)

(Note: I have no idea who the person on the sign is or what party they are or anything about the office they're running for, so posting their signs for this is in no way a nod of support to this person's candidacy.)
