10 Things To Do AFTER Bush Leaves the White House

1. Start watching presidential press conferences again.

2. Hold your head up high and declare yourself an AMERICAN.

3. Travel abroad, we've regained the respect from the world. The dollar sucks, but no one will give you the stink eye anymore because Bush is POTUS.

4. You can have hope once more.

5. Throw away your suicide pills.

6. Visit those relatives in the South without having to blame them (too much) for the state of the country.

7. Go ahead and plan for the future. Dare to dream.

8. You don't have to move to Canada after all. Start unpacking.

9. Believe in science again, proudly, publicly.

10. Do the Snoopy Dance.

Obama is officially the next POTUS

The Chronicle has reported that it is official: Barack Obama is the next president of the United States. Anyone else find this electoral process redundant for these times or is it just me?

Wow! What sore losers.

The nuts just keep coming. There are some folk out there who just can't handle the reality that Barack Obama will be the next U.S. President. I've got just one little piece of advice: Get over it and get over yourselves.

Read the idiocy in the NYTimes article on the challenges to Obama's eligibility.

Yahoo running slanderous ad against Obama

I was shocked to see while perusing yahoo that they are running a slanderous ad by some shady operation called sodahead.com where some idiot proposes the question about whether Obama bought the election. I don't want to read this kind of scummy political crap in my mailbox. Thanks alot Yahoo. Yahoo needs to get rid of this type of ad spam.

I'll be working on moving my mailbox from yahoo mail to gmail for sure.

You can also block yahoo ads in Firefox by using the AdBlocker add-on and including the following: "http://*.ard.yahoo.com/*". Mine will stay in place until I know Yahoo has pulled this political smear ad.

History has been made: The First Black President

Holy cow! Barack Obama is now President-elect of the United States of America.

I never ever thought that American voters could ever coalesce together enough to break through one of the pinnacles of racism and elect a Black man as leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world. I never thought I would see history being made during my lifetime. I thought it would be possible only after some other barriers had been broken, like a first (White) woman president or Latino man. I just did not have faith that Americans could get beyond the continuing racism against Blacks and see that we are capable of being political leaders who look out for the greater good and not just for the Black community. I admit that I had no such confidence and I am glad to have been proven wrong by my fellow American citizens.

I witnessed this historic moment at a local pub with a coworker, surrounded by Whites who were just as enthusiastic as I was about Barack Obama being elected as the next President of _these_ United States. Maybe more so. I had lots of reservation about this happening because of the rounds of humiliation that he was subjected to during this election campaign. He kept his composure, but I wasn't confident that that could be seen by anyone other than myself. So I am so very glad to have been mistaken.

I voted!

Vote. All the cool kids are doing it!
