Obama wins

Barack Obama has won the election.  18 months in the making, and we are now finally over with the two-thousand and eight election cycle.  Only 45 more days till the two-thousand and twelve election cycle starts.

Barack I congratulate you on your victory and give you permission to sleep in tomorrow.  But the day after I fully expect you to make good on the promises and hope that you’ve inspired in to this country.

We have changed.  We are moving forward.

I am happy.

10 Trillion in debt, and rising

To anyone who reads this and is convinced that the republicans have your best economic interests at heart I would like to direct your attention to this little chart over at Z-facts. On Septbember 30th the national debt crossed the $10 Trillion mark. It is rising even faster.

Fact: The economy is in the tank.
Fact: The country is up to it’s collective eyeballs in debt
Fact: Wall-Street never needed $700 Billion of our money. The Paulson plan was to scare us in to believing it was a good idea.

Do yourself a favor, do not vote against your best interests simply for stances on a few social issues that have zero impact on your life.

Fact: Gays have been able to legally marry in California since June, the world did not end.
Fact: The National debt is larger than the age of the universe.
Fact: To eliminate the debt taxes will have to increase. Suck it up, pay it, quit your bitching.

Vote for change.

The changing tide?

According to Electoral-Vote.com the states of Florida, Virginia, and Ohio have all switched from weak Republican to a dead heat. This is good. This is very good.
