Still laid off. Work next week likely.
Obama wonned! If you want my honest opinion, but perhaps not quite so thorough:

Yes, I'm an anarchist. Until I went to the booth, I wasn't sure if I'd vote for Obama. I decided to vote for Cynthia McKinney because Michigan was confidently headed in Barack's direction. But wasn't even that strategy a glaring example of my privilege? Maybe.
The point remains that people in more dire circumstances, yet immensely hopeful for the future, have backed Mr. Obama because they expect him to use his newfound powers for good instead of evil. Not because they have no capacity for action otherwise! This is a cry for help, motherfuckers! Those of us who are worth our salt have to engage more heavily with our fellow Americans to radically change this society. It doesn't happen from atop a high horse of anarchist dogmatism.
blah blah blah
