And why do I feel like I'm singing "We did it!" from Dora the Explorer over and over again? It's like Map told us to go through the icky sticky mud, then under the exploding boxes, and that's how we get to shiny, tasty, happy Candy Mountain! WE DID IT! ETA: Huh. Is this the first time that a First Lady has had a cousin who's a Rabbi?

I promise to post less than once an hour today.

I, for one, welcome our new PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA!

[Poll #1291920]

Gacked from DailyKos, Things to listen for in the near-future:

"I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States..."

"In the news today, President Obama called on Americans to..."

"The Obama administration says it's tackling the issue aggressively..."

"Republicans condemned/accused/attacked President Obama today..."

"The House and Senate have passed, and President Obama signed, sweeping legislation..."

"The first question of this and all future press conferences will go to Helen Thomas. Go ahead, Helen." "Thank you, Mr. President..."

"President Obama's cabinet picks have been hailed as smart, shrewd, and diverse..."

"For the first time in years, polling shows that Americans feel like the country is on the right track again..."

"President Obama, with the backing of General Petraeus and the Iraqi government, announced significant troop reductions this week..."

"Once again, the Republican effort to mount a filibuster failed miserably..."

"After two weeks on the job, Republicans called for Obama's impeachment today, and were literally laughed out of the chamber..."

"OPEC panics as Obama White House announces massive alternative energy push..."

"You're watching Alaska Cable Access Channel 2. Welcome to Hockey Talk with your host, Sarah Palin..."

And from 236.com:

We have no idea what James Buchanan might have written Abraham Lincoln the night of the 1860 election...but for sheer self-absorbed point missing it would be hard to top this from George W. Bush:
I promise to make this a smooth transition. You are about to go on one of the great journeys of life. Congratulations, and go enjoy yourself.

We've had eight years of someone enjoying himself and his life journey at the expense of the country. Now, mercifully, this country may finally have a President.
