- I’m thankful Barack Obama will be President in late January. I’m especially thankful for the passage of the 20th amendment of U.S. Constitution, which changed the inauguration date from March 4th to January 20th. Franklin Roosevelt was the first President sworn in on January 20th, 1937(his second term of office).
- I’m thankful I grew up in the 60s and could enjoy new music from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield and so many others and didn’t have to have hear groups like The Jonas Brothers. They did the halftime show for yesterday’s Cowboys-Seahawks game. I’m pretty open minded, but the brothers(especially the lead singing bro) seemed low on artistry and high on ego tripping.
- And I’m sounding like Grandpa Simpson now, but I liked it better when the national anthem was done in the traditional style. Who was that young woman doing the national anthem. I hate all those show-off-ee femail singers with the “look at me, I have a great voice range” attitide.
- I’m also thankful I’m not the kind of person who feels compelled to get up at 3am on this black friday and be at Walmart, Best Buy and whoever else was opening their doors today at 5am or 6am. I don’t care, I just don’t care.
…and remember, he’s still the worst president ever for, like, 7 more weeks or something like that:

A 6 week old baby could sum up the following best: “goo goo, ga ga”
CNN’s Rick Sanchez reported on a church marquee that reads “America we have a Muslim president. This is a sin against the Lord.” Mark Holick is pastor of The Spirit One Christian Center in Wichita, Kansas where the sign is being displayed. Read details here on Rawstory.com

And then there’s this message following the Obama Victory from James Dobson and Focus on the Family(scroll down for a previous post on these self righteous fundy goofballs) sent out to their members and supporters:
Dear Friend,
The spirit of Winston Churchill was alive and well on Tuesday night at Focus on the Family Action headquarters.
Focus on the Family founder James Dobson
You may recall that in the most desperate days of World War II – when Great Britain was being pounded daily by Hitler’s Luftwaffe – that Winston Churchill called on his countrymen not to despair from danger but to rise to the challenge.
Translation: It’s not fair, it’s not fair. Waaahhh, it’s not fair. I want everybody to think the way I do. Waaahhh, this is a Christian nation. I’m going hold my breath until this country becomes a theocracy. You’re goin’ to hell when you die, you’re goin’ to hell when you, nyahh, nyahh, nyahh, nyahh, nyahh.
Mommy! Help me mommy. The liberals beat me up and made me skim my knee. Wahhhh, wahhh.

The LA Times reports — Reporting from Phoenix — Sarah Palin left the national stage Wednesday, but the controversy over her role on the ticket flared as aides to John McCain disclosed new details about her expensive wardrobe purchases and revealed that a Republican Party lawyer would be dispatched to Alaska to inventory and retrieve the clothes still in her possession. FULL STORY
The lawyer apparently couldn’t retrieve her clothes, so a call was made to State Republican Headquarters in New Jersey, where officials there immediately dispatched a “special envoy” to Alaksa to deal with the problem. At last report, the issue is still unresolved:

Normally, I think schadenfreude (taking pleasure in the misfortune of others) is not a good thing to indulge in. Makes you weak — you want to feel good about yourself? Buckle up, work hard and excel. Don’t get your jollies off other people’s bad luck, no matter how bad you perceive them to be. But — In the case of Tuesday’s presidential election, I’m willing to make an exception.
Yes, I am enjoying the fact that every racist jerk is PO’d about the election of Barack Obama. Yes, I am enjoying the fact that all those horrible, hated filled people who showed up at John and Sarah’s campaign rallies, shouting out such horrible things, are now bitterly disappointed. Yes, I am glad that the far right wing media, who have bloviated for years about the character weaknesses of liberals, are now also bitterly disappointed. You all really believed the concept of a permanent republican majority and that liberals could be crushed into the ground, didn’t you? Well, it’s not happening.
Go ahead and whine about the liberal media not exposing the “full truth” about Barack Obama and how we who supported him were led around like obedient sheep. Fact is Reverend Wright, William Ayers and all the other anti-Obama trash talk got plenty of coverage. Fact is most everybody knew about it and most people thought it was stupid and didn’t care.
