I VOTED! Did you?

I cannot think of a better way to spend a first Tuesday in November morning in 2008 than standing in line in the cold for 3 hours and 20 minutes to vote for the a Highly Qualified, Innovative, Rational, Diplomatic, Educated, Sympathetic, Empathetic, Family Oriented, People Oriented, Prestigious, Esteemed, Eloquent, Steadfast, Unwavering candidate on the Presidential ballot. And yeah, as an added bonus he is black.



I have watched this election coverage for the past several months with great angst. I could have voted when the nominees were announced. John McCain does not represtent BagLady. And even though Sara Palin’s clothes may be fly and she keeps a dope upsweep do, she doesn’t either.

Barack and Joe represent the direction I would like to see this country go in. I want the troops to come home. I have two relatives who have done 3 tours in Iraq. I am tired of being taxed out the wazoo because I don’t make enough and still make too much. The Middle Class is America’s whipping boy.

Barack Obama becoming this country’s first Black President is not just a huge victory for black people. It is a huge victory for anyone outside of the norm. He will be proof positive that anyone can truly become the leader of the most powerful country in the world, flaws and all. Hilary Clinton put 18 million cracks in the ceiling and proved that women can hold our own; Barack Obama is going blow the ceiling up.

I don’t want to make this entry too long because you should be out voting if you haven’t, and if you have you should be glued to the TV like I am. But I will just throw out some random thoughts about this election, in no specific order, and with no specific point in mind.

• Choosing Sara “Moose is the other darkmeat” Palin as a running mate was not only stupid but a direct slap in the face to the intelligence of every woman in this country. If I were Hilary Clinton I would have had major words behind that. How dare anyone compare her to Big Hill.

• Joe the Plummer wouldn’t know what Socialism was if he pulled it out of a backed up drain.

• How cool is Joe Bidden? Not just because he’s calm and relaxed but he’s just about done it all, Obama couldn’t have picked a better wing man.

• I hope that Webster’s Dictionary buries the word Maverick forever.

• Three Words: SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

• What does Cindy McCain do while Michelle Obama is out speaking and actively campaigning for her husband with her kids in tow?

• If Elizabeth Hasselback (The View) keeps running her mouth and pissing off everyone who watches, hosts and guest stars on the View, she is going to have to ask the next president to borrow a couple secret service agents! Elizabeth, please.

Say what you want about the Clintons, but when they did come out, they came out swinging. When I heard Bill say “I’m gonna say all of the things that Obama can’t say right now” I braced myself. I still love Bill. He was the first president I voted for.
