wow...wait, we won??!?!?!!!

Last night I watched the election results with a small group of dedicated liberals. We were all on our second (or third) beer when suddenly, out of the stinking pit of nonsensical time filling bs and way to early to be accurate projections on the red and blues, the title "OBAMA WINS" appeared across the screen. Could it be that easy? Could he simply win without recounts, hanging chads, corrupt officials or inefficient voting delays? Could it be as sweet as a landslide?? Yes.

The atmosphere in NYC was electric. People were screaming and hollering in the subways and on the streets. Giving high fives to strangers. Honking non stop. Banging pans on the roof. Setting off fireworks. There is hope now. As Bob the Builder says: "Can we fix it? Yes we can!" As a recovering cynic, I say- 8 years of change?
