HOORAY IT’S OVER
No more election baloney clogging up my bandwidth! I know, it is very un-civic-minded of me. Yesterday when I was leaving work a woman in the elevator said, “I am so excited! It?s like Christmas Eve! And if I wake up to President Obama, it will be the best Christmas ever!”
This irritated the crap out of me. Look, I like the man,* I voted for the man, I think he has good intentions and will do a good job and will hire excellent people to give him advice. And hey! Bonus points! He doesn’t seem to hate women! But he is not Santa Claus or Glinda the Good Witch or some human good-luck charm. I hate to break it to you lady, but Obama will not be bringing the nation Barbie Dream Houses and Hot Wheels tracks anytime soon.
