Well, That Was Interesting Now Wasn’t It?

This is a blog about sports. Sports are here to get our minds off crummy, boring things like politics. But screw that, we’re going to take one post off to talk about this.

First thought — I was starting to honestly believe that Bush would never leave office. Like this was some kind of nightmare we couldn’t wake up from. I’m glad he didn’t win the election tonight. That would have made me move to Canada or Europe. Hopefully we survive the next 2 1/2 months while he moves out.

Second thought — All Americans should pat themselves on the back. The news networks were predicting voter turnout up to 90% and if we got anywhere remotely close to that, no matter who you voted for, you deserve to be commended.

Third and final thought — When was the last time there was dancing in the streets because of an election? Think about that for a second. Even if you voted against Obama, rationalize that. Dancing in the streets. I thought that was reserved for revolutions and what not. People really, truly, give a shit about the democratic process again. Kind of neat to see.

And in a few years we could be fighting a Civil War, or the Chinese could invade or the economy could be even worse. So this might all be for nothing… But hey, one kick ass night will do for now. Baby steps, people. Baby steps.
