A republic, friends, if you can keep it

I am so proud.

I read a report from Iraq on CNN. Apparently, many Iraqis figured the American elections were rigged and there was no way Obama would ever win. What a statement we made for democracy.

A republic, friends, if you can keep it. Maybe we have.

Voting yesterday was a surreal experience, one I'll never forget.

Others may never forget my attire:



Those say "We The People" (PhotoBooth shows everything backwards...I didn't wear my socks that way.) Don't you think the buckled loafers are a nice touch?

I'm a little disappointed about Georgia. I really thought it was going to be closer, but that's the distorted view I get from living in Dekalb County. But that would have been a real "post-racial" coup.

And the Props. All appear to have succeeded, although 8 is still apparently too close to call. This makes me ill.
