politics

So, I'm going to put a lid on the politics for awhile. Obama is going to be President, and McCain/Palin will just fade into the night. Only part of that last statement is true, unfortunately, as demonstrated by every news show airing this morning. But, I'm not going there, people! At the risk of inciting controversy, I'm going to shift to a subject about which I feel fiery passion: Sharing Information Responsibly A story to illustrate my point, with certain details omitted for obvious reasons: Yesterday, a contact on a social networking website posted this bulletin:

America!, we did it. We. Voted. In. Record. Numbers. Look!!! Now, that alone is a HUGE reason to be happy. America! came together! to participate in an election of epic! proportions. Sure, half of the voting public is feeling pretty sore today. Some of them are pretty positive that the world is going to end. Hey, I can't blame you guys. I was fully prepared to abandon America! if Obama didn't get elected. I know that's not exactly comparable to fearing for Earth's salvation...

Today is a very important day. About half of the voting country will go to bed really happy, and about half of the voting country will go to bed really freakin' pissed off. Which half will you belong to? Better stay up and find out! I mean, you may as well... It's not every day that we decide the fate of our nation, right? Of course, this wouldn't be a legitimate blog without gratuitous voting pictures of Jed and me...

America!, we need to talk. Up until very recently I had a lot of faith that America! would do the right thing and end our relationship with the type of politician who promises you a romantic steak dinner but then texts you while you're waiting for him at the restaurant table saying that LOL he forgot because he got really into this game of beer pong with the guys and OMG that promise of a steak really got blown out of proportion so please try to forgive him and maybe he'll ping you through Facebook next week. The America!
