Oh Dear. . .I mean, I see.
On second thought, Oh dear. . .

Thanks Prof

Aww, man. I’m sorry dude, he should have told you not to go there.

This is like that time back in 2000 that I just had to have the Dope “educate” me on what the term “squick” referred to.

Tell you what. Go find a thread that EddyTeddyFreddy is posting in. She’s usually good for a nice comforting piece of pie. That should take your mind off it.

And welcome to the Dope.

People who hammer on about all the old campaign points, after a new president has been elected, are nothing but dicks. For the love of God, the slate has been wiped clean. I didn’t vote for Obama, but now I’m rooting for him 100%. I dislike Obama on many issues, but I have the decency to forget about them and give the man a shot. Regardless of how unfair the election was, it doesn’t matter anymore, even if the McCain campaign was entirely dirty.

OH MY GOD!!! In the excitement

DID ANYBODY REMEMBER TO TELL BILLY AYERS NOT TO DELIVER THE LITTLE RED PACKAGE???

Repeat, if anyone sees Billy, please please tell him

DO NOT DELIVER THE LITTLE RED PACKAGE!!! Tell him “Mr. McAbel’s brother has decided to go home… he doesn’t need the apple!”

He’ll know what you’re talking about.

I’m feeling a new cell phone commercial.

AT&T . . . not enough bars . . . we didn’t get the call . . . spent a night in the hostel with the Techno Twins Hans & Sleeter!

Belatedly rediscovering bipartisanship and common decency only after having your ass handed to you

Heh. When the TV guy said “We seem to be using the word ‘transformational’ a lot tonight,” I turned to my wife and said “that’s because they’re afraid to say “good old-fashioned ass-kicking” under current FCC rules.”

I really wish that all Americans would exhibit the class and dignity that both candidates exhibited in their campaigns. I was honestly impressed with both men and felt that were heads and shoulders above the candidates we’ve been forced to choose between in recent years.

As far as the supporters booing Obama during McCain’s concession speech, you’ll note that McCain shushed them. I thought his speech was fantastic. I thought Obama’s acceptance speech was fantastic.

Those of you who prefer to gloat and continue the mean pettiness that has stank up this country the last two years should realize that you are the equivalent of the idiot “supporters” who’d boo an honorable man during an otherwise gracious and uplifting speech.

McCain can’t lose with dignity? Well, Jolly Rogers, you can’t WIN with dignity. What does that say about you?

Grow up.

Obama and McCain both showed class, the kind of class this country has not seen in the past EIGHT years. I think either one would make a fine president.

Well, so much for the end of hateful divisive partisanship.

Well it seems to be going away, in the sense that it will no longer be sanctioned or given a wink and a nod, and will go back to the land of fringe elements and loonies.

If McCain HAD shown some class, he might not have alienated a lot of the undecided voters. His campaign was sleazy and duplicitous, and the only note of grace heard from his campaign was his concession speech. If he had been that way all along, I might’ve even have voted for him. It was his campaign that scared me away, not his party.

Well, if you’re going to compare the both of them to Bush, yeah, okay.
