Obama's won the Presidency. I feel relieved: I thought this was going to be a repeat of 2004. I don't expect the man to live up to all his campaign promises, even if he's as earnest as he appears to be, because you'd have to break the laws of physics to make that happen. I do expect that he will bring some perspective and common sense to the Executive Branch. Congratulations, Mr. Obama. When you're in office, please remember who you work for.
That said, I hope no one on my f-list is going to go around taunting Republicans. It's a crass and unsympathetic thing to do. No matter who's gotten elected or what happens from here on in, we're all in it together, so let's act like it.
"We" includes the stupid undergrads on my block, including my next-door neighbor who is playing his guitar and singing (very badly). I'm in too much of a good mood to call the cops on anyone tonight.
