I have to go to bed. I am going to be dead tomorrow and I still have to put out the trash.
Congrats you guys. I am thrilled to be America adjacent.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

“Not dead yet!”
I am so relieved. And so grateful to not have to hang my head in shame over my state. Exhausted, happy and exhausted.
Laura is me.

What's shocking for me (and it's shallow as hell), but this is the first president I've had that is younger than me. I think I need to go lie down.

You know what is so strange. I live in a red state. But he made me feel like my vote counted today.
DH & I noted the difference between Obama's tone when he said to those who didn't vote for him "I will be your president too" and Bush's in 2000 when he said something similar. But when Bush spoke there was an implicit 'fuck you' behind his words. Obama sounded like he meant it.

I'm skipping about 1000 posts to tell you guys, good fucking job. I was afraid America would vote for McCain, and couldn't believe who happy I was hearing the news this morning!
Wow. I can't believe I saw this day.

When hasn't there been an implicit 'fuck you'?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
A smart president. A well-spoken president. A president who inspires hope instead of fear. I am weeping.
A world of this. I've been crying off and on since the tv started announcing Obama won. I still can't really believe it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
When hasn't there been an implicit 'fuck you'?
When there's been an explicit one. Sometimes, there's both. I'll be so glad for him to be out of office.

I'm happy to report that Utah's sole Democratic representative in federal politics will return to Washington by a strong margin. Jim Matheson has been a Rep for a long time, representing Salt Lake City. During the last redistricting, the Republicans gerrymandered the metropolitan Salt Lake City area to split it up between the three Congressional districts, hoping that the rural conservatives of the outlying areas--the vast majority of the state--would be enough to overcome those darn liberals in the capital city. So far, it hasn't happened, and Congressman Matheson can go back to work.
