Yes, obviously. People who pronounce "vitamin" with a short "i" need to be lined up against a wall and shot.

Maybe that's why they were so effective. :P

Seriously, though I laughed my booty off at your deft and very American (ooh take that) insinuation that anyone who disagrees with you is tied to Nazies, commies, a terrorists, or some combination thereof.

If you experience an election lasting more than 2 years, contact your health care provider immediately.

Everyone has called it for Obama, including McCain who has graciously conceded (to be met with his supporters booing at every positive mention of Obama, the fuckers)

With 99% of North Carolina precints reporting, Obama i about 14,000 votes ahead in that state.

Who'da thunk?

I don't think I've ever been this happy with my country and its leadership. Under Clinton I was still in elementary and middle school, so I didn't care so much back then. In high school, though I was too young to vote, I favored Bush. Now that I know better...

It's been an exhilarating year, America. Thanks.

And Obama's supporters cheered when he mentioned John McCain. I guess it's easier to be magnanimous when you're on the winning side.

I think it's easier to be magnanimous when you're not a Republican cuntwhistle. I don't recall Gore or Kerry's concession speeches drawing boos in reference to Bush.

McCain gave the best speech of his campaign last night. Glad to see the real McCain again, but too bad he didn't feel he could run as himself.

But, thankfully, It's Sunny Again!
