This is the first time in my three voting presidential elections that the candidate I chose won so I'm excited about that. But I have to agree with the author; this election was extremely acrimonious. Now is not the time to rub it in that you won or lost. Which means I won't rub it in your face that the government is extremely Democratic this term, if you promise to stop calling me comrade. Deal?

For my fellow Nashvillians
If you don't know where to go, check out this info from the Election Commission.
Alright, I've ACTUALLY voted. Now let's see what happens, folks.

I'm so tired
Of the election. I think election fatigue is going to become a diagnosable medical disorder one of these days. Here is my lament, and it's not related to a candidate so don't think I'm going to tell you why I'm voting for who I'm voting for here. We picked the wrong way to choose the men who run for President. When Washington was elected, he didn't campaign. The people wanted him, and he acquiesced.
We used to nominate people in a more honest fashion. We looked around for the best and brightest and said, "Him! I want him to lead us!" And then there was an election, and then we had a President. It wasn't an office you prepared your whole life for in the same way that it is now. You spent your whole life living as a good and honest servant, and people responded. They weren't perfect, but no one is. So, despite advances in technology, I'm just wondering, could we go back to the late 1700s? I would still like to be able to vote, though, and wear pants, which could be tricky...

Good grammar. Who needs it?
Hilarious op-ed piece from the New York Times on Sarah Palin's speech patterns. I know that this kind of negativity isn't exactly productive, but it sure is funny. Because if we can't agree to pick on people who who willfully ignore the conventions of the English language, the communists have won, folks.
That diagram, by the way, is the Preamble to the Consitution.
For the Pledge of Allegiance, head over here.
