OMABA '80!

(Soon-to-be) 44th President of the United States of America Barack Hussein Obama.

That felt good.

You can't manufacture this stuff:



Well, I mean, you CAN:



But still, undeniably heartwarming. Like an unhappy cat wearing clothing!



Reader, now allow me to shotgun a lungful of reality into your face to kick the happy up another notch. No more of this guy!:



To his credit, George Bush must be responsible for more laughter than any other President ever. President Bush is an inspiration to comedians everywhere, but not in the same way Carlin is. His legacy is a red bulging sty in the corner of America's right eye, secured on with one of those head cones so that America, a dog in this metaphor, won't scratch at the painfully embarrassing reminder of unhealthy, irresponsible decision-making. Sticking our snouts in dangerous butts.

I don't condone blind hatred of Bush because I don't condone blind hatred of anything. Understatement: Bush sucked. He sucked bad. Presidents previously thought uber sucky, are now considered only "mildly sucky, considering the times and properly adjusted for suck inflation." (Sidebar: suck inflation? In a way that's kind of an oxymoron, no?... Also the word "oxymoron" sounds like something you'd call a prescription drug addict.)

But dagglesnaps! if I don't like America's attitude right now. McCain and the republicans have gracefully accepted defeat (some show this by questioning Obama's US citizenship). The winning side isn't even being that gloaty! Although the room is covered in splattered with fan-distributed feces, America is ready to grow. It feels genuine, and genuine is good, and good is cool.
