Election Climaxes and the Afterglow
On November 5, 2008, a day after a historic election promising, defining moment of change…..
It’s probably too soon to see changes. But, one would think, maybe just a wee bit of noticeable change, ya know, like the moment after an orgasm. Let’s take a look at one example of how people of this nation go on with their life as if nothing has changed….
On a plane, up in the sky somewhere, a 45 year old female started to get disruptive and when she could not behave, the flight attendant had no choice but to restrain her with duct tape until they could reached their emergency landing site in North Carolina. She’s probably a McCain supporter, drowning her in her drinks, the day after.
On my drive to work, I see a sign saying: NO, Obama, Keep Your Change!
Nah, I don’t think so, I think he wants to spread the wealth…..
As for Palin, the back-stabbing among so called alliances continues, as media across the country have reported on McCain’s aides declaring “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast,”
There was even reports of Palin greeting the aides in just towels and nothing more!
Geesh, knife stabbings are ugly.
It’s been a crazy week for me and a crazy Friday too!
I was dead tired Tuesday, after crunching numbers all day. I didn’t think I’d have the energy to go online or even watch the results of the Election. I had to go online to check my emails, and couldn’t resist hanging out at the Green Couch. As hilarious as it was, who would have thought that we’d be talking about contractions and pregnant chads. As the evening went on, and the blues started to gain ground, I wasn’t tired anymore! Whoo! It was unbelievable! At 10:00 it was announced Obama won! And as I watched the TV showing the crowds in Chicago at Grant Park going WILD! It was Awesome! I would have LOVED to be there, but, I had to work the next day. My kid was suggesting we drive out there. She knew how much I loved hanging out in Downtown Chicago and by the lake too. I was so proud to be a native Chi Girl that nite. Chicago was my hometown, I was born and raised there ~ It was my playground.
Years from now, if someone asks me what I did on November 4, 2008. I can look back and say that I had the most awesome time hangin out with Paotie and his Green Couch crowd! You all ROCK!
What a week!
TGIF!

WOW! Love the blog changes! AWESOME!!
I had fun at the Green Couch, watching the comments rolling during the election returns. It was great fun to see various deaf/HOH people chime in with their thoughts of the election. Thank you for hanging out at the Green Couch.
GOOD TIMES! GREAT VIBRATIONS!
Love your TGIF articles!
Phew. Contractions are far over. Phew.
Ow. That hurts. Ouch. I was dead tired.
I gotta lay down on the green couch. Gotta keep reading at the green couch’s comments. Could not help it. I’m “gr-een-unk!” It’s green! *not drunk!* And then….I got a four-leaf clover!
Phew!
Oh I forgot….here he is….ain’t that handsome? Our first lady is lucky….darn.
Lotta wait for the first dog to arrive at the White House…hurry up!
Paotie!
Glad you liked the changes~
It was time to ‘change’ my blog theme considering the change that is supposed to happen….
Good times! Great Vibrations!
Thank you for that too!
White Ghost!
LOL!
You crack me up!
I can’t wait to see what kind of puppy the Obamas are bringing to the White House. I thought it was really sweet of Obama to promise his girls a puppy.
LOL, what’s life without a dog in the White house?
That puppy better be good, Bill Clinton spent a lot of time in that (dog)house.
Ann, you kill me!
I didn’t hear about the puppy promise…adorable!
Candy, love the new look – sweet!
Nice blog title.
Would you believe it, Obama says that the puppy won’t be a MUTT like him. *chuckle*
Only the best will do for his little girls.
Guys, guys, guys…….
Prexy Bush’s naughty dog, Barney bit a reporter…..he ended up getting a tetnus shot!
Barney got mad because Republicans lost the majority in the senate and congress and its President.
I love your changes to your blog…
Hi Karen!
Thank you…
White Ghost, ya know, animals are not stupid. They sense things, I suppose.
Ann_C, lol ya well, at least he acknowledged that he’s a Mutt. The other day my co-worker’s boss took her and I out to lunch. He’s black. He asked me what I nationality I was. I told him I was a MUTT. He laughed and said I am a true American.
Candy,
When you really think about it, many Americans are MUTTS, doesn’t matter if it’s racial, ethnic, cultural, whatever. America is the land of immigrants and opportunity.
There used to be this fine distinction of DAR, or “old names” in America. With the influx of immigrants in this country, the nation itself is renewed with new blood and new energy all the time.
I’m a mutt of DAR and “other”. Who the hell in this day and age cares really?
Yup! Well said Ann_C.
I know I am a mutt of DAR and “other” too, and who cares! You go girl!
Times are a changin… Back then, I guess it meant a lot for these so called people to be part of “old names” but, I didn’t like their view on the world and all the “others.”
