It’s official. Senator Barack Obama has become the 44th President of the United States and the first African American to ever hold the office. Also, Joe Biden will break another historic barrier by being the first person named Joe Biden to be elected as Vice President. Chester A. Arthur was going to change his name to Flo Walden, which would have been pretty close to ‘Joe Biden’, but he was interrupted be needing to become President.
Oh, what could have been. And for the record, I really miss Tim Russert right now.
When delivering his concession to Obama, Senator John McCain noted that above and beyond everything else they were both Americans. He continued:
“…and no association means any more to me than that.”
Not a bad repudiation of his own campaign while swallowing a steaming wad of fail. I won’t call it classy, but it’s better than where he’d been.
There’s not much funny left at this point, except the look on McCain’s face when he pretended that Sarah Palin had been an asset.
So, barring a strong burst of energy that sloth and my comfy couch will make impossible I will end – as only I can – by only seeing the patient after they have died.
As such, I will now announce that The Reasonable Ego would like to endorse John Edwards for President in 2008.

It’s not so bad. Look at all the great material that will be coming from this disaster. But you better get to it quickly, the Fairness Doctrine is close at hand. I thought the American people had more backbone than this. I can see now, first hand, how Europe became way it is today.

That John Edwards slogan is damnably funny.

People say Obama is inexperienced – like that’s a BAD thing. I for one WELCOME someone who’s not a “polished” politician. We’ve had a SLEW of them and look at the mess they’ve made. Viva Obama!
In my blog, I reported that once upon a time in Mexico, a joke party calling itself “The (something or other) Banana Party” fielded a MONKEY as their candidate in a mayoral election. There were ten candidates, of which the monkey came third.
This led me to two thoughts. One – how SAD were the seven candidates who polled LOWER? And two – Americans look down on their cousins south of the border – but at least the Mexicans’ monkey only came third. America’s monkey came SECOND – and they put him in the WHITE HOUSE!
Just a few more weeks…

I’m afraid they’ve created a monster with Palin. She’s not going to shut up any time soon.

Loved that! Thirty years of being the wife of a dairyfarmer convinced me that the republican party was definitely not on the side of the working man, but even so, I tried, I really tried not to laugh out loud at the republicans for their choice of Vice President. The woman lacks all sense of tact and restraint, a very necessary trait when it come to dealing with other world powers. I seriously doubt her winking “gotchas” would win friends and influence countries other than those seeking American tax dollars.

Dude, are you ever coming back?

Yeah. I’m starting to think it’s me. Is it me?
