P.S. First the Phillies win the Series then Obama gets elected. Since good things happen in threes, clearly I'm about to hit the lottery!!

I think everyone who welcomes Obama's election should recognise the tremendous debt they owe to Sarah Palin for helping bring this about.

INdeed, one must always welcome self-destructiveness in one's opponent! :D

I received an e-mail from an outfit that's peddling "PALIN 2012" bumper stickers.

Mwahaha.

Nice to see the Republican spirit of delusion is still alive and well.

2012 will go to Obama. Sarah has eight years to grow some literacy and awareness. Then she can run again.

From the pages of Andy Borowitz, a humorist:

Palin Hoping to be Named Ambassador to Africa

'A Darned Important Country,' Says Guv

Sarah Palin of Alaska has reached out to President-elect Obama's transition team to indicate her interest in being named "ambassador to the nation of Africa," the governor confirmed today.

Gov. Palin said that although she had planned to continue in her position in Juneau, she was willing to leave the governorship "because Africa is just such a darned important country."

"I have always been very, very interested in the nation of Africa, partly because of it being located where it is," she said. "If you are standing in Africa and you look real close, you can see South Africa."

She added that she had received phone calls encouraging her to vie for the post, including one from French president Nicholas Sarkozy.

In other news from the Palin family, Bristol Palin's fiancé Levi Johnston said he was "totally stoked" about Tuesday night's election returns, calling the results "definitely a game-changer for me."

"The election of Barack Obama means different things to different people," he said. "To me, it means freedom, dude!"

That's great, Amos. This must have been the election with the all-time best opportunities for humorists. And we have definitely seen the benefits--which, among other things, modern technology has brought us.


Of course it's also extremely fortunate--for all sorts of reasons having nothing to do with Tina Fey--- that she will not have to leave the world--which she said she'd do if McCain/Palin won.
