So..... Obama won.

It was a blow-out. I had expected as much. I feel weird though. Everyone else is celebrating in jubilation at the historic nature of this win. All I feel is relief. Shouldn't I be happier? I wanted this so badly. 8 years of Bush have numbed me so much that I feel as if we dodged a bullet tonight. And usually my response to something like that is to take a deep breath and thank the Lord for large favors.

I probably won't be able to fully appreciate what took place tonight until tomorrow morning. Until then, I want to thank everyone on my friends list who voted for Obama. We did it.

We had Margaret Thatcher for 11 years. Beat that =P

Honestly, Obama's getting more love over here than any of our own political leaders. The only guy who can compare in mass popularity stakes is Boris Johnson (mayor of London), and we don't love him quite the same way. We love him more the way we love Homer Simpson.

Sarah Palin, though, she went down extremely badly over here. "She puts the 'alas' in 'Alaska'", as Tom Baker put it.

Yeah, well, while you guys had Thatcher we had 12 years of Reagan and Bush I. And even if we hadn't, Bush II is so horrible on the dictator scale that there really is no contest between him and Thatcher.
