Assortment

1) Happy Obama Day! (Don't miss the comments). Update: Incidentally, how long before they start clamoring for Obama's mug on Mt. Rushmore? Or maybe they'd prefer to carve a full-size statue out of Mt. McKinley. And frankly, I can't wait to see his image on the 200,000,000 dollar bill I'll be forking over in a few years to buy a loaf of bread.

2) If this happens, I'll be cashing mine in, in spite of the penalty.

3) Arts & Ammo takes a look at Prop 8 (BTW, be sure to check out the fabulous picture of Beethoven holding a revolver!)

4) Al Gore continues scribbling notes on the paper they give him for therapeutic finger-painting, and tossing his mad missives through the bars of his padded cell to the street below - this one was picked up by the NYT. (H/T: Jules Crittenden)

5) The next economic time bomb (H/T: The ever vigilant Captain Heinrichs).

6) Cold Fury throws down the gauntlet.

The Onion's got a great piece here: Obama win causes supporters to realise how empty their lives are.

Slightly negative tone to your postings lately Paco. Cant think why.

After all conservatives may have lost power in the US but on the bright side, the left has just been defeated in New Zealand and an apparently sensible new Prime Minister is about to be sworn in.

Oh I get it - you dont think that is adequate compensation?

Palmerston: Negative tone? Not really. More like acerbically positive.

While I rejoice for New Zealand, I cannot say that that is in any significant way a compensation for the loss of sanity in the U.S.

So the organizing committee for National Obama Day meets at McDonald's? Bwhahaha. I think Ronald is looking for a way to sell a few more fries.

And I don't think we'll get a NOD (National Obama Day) without getting a NPD or NRD. (Consider this a little warm-up for your Monday morning brain.)

Ooh rah and thank you from
this grateful citizen.

Paco, I'd add a dash of cynicism to the description of your tone, but spot on otherwise. And that cynicism is fully appropriate, especially with the clowns lining up to run this country with both hands open.

"Obama Day".....jeez!

'Palmerston' is a locality in NZ, so presumably the above commenter of that name is from there.
